My family being at Ingleton during the month of August last, I 

 took the opportunity when I was there each week-end, of collect- 

 ing what 1 could of the Land and Freshwater Shells of the 

 district. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the weather was very 

 wet during most of the time I was there and prevented me going 

 out at times, but it certainly brought out the snails, as after very 

 heavy rains Helix rupestrls and Clausilia riigosa abounded on 

 the old walls, and in some places Balea perversa was very 

 abundant. Helks Wood proved to be the best hunting-ground, 

 both for numbers and variety of species, but unfortunately I did 

 not collect there much, until the last week-end when I was 

 joined by Mr. Oldham and Mr. Standen. The following are the 

 species collected : — 

 Limnaea peregra. — Plentiful in an old horse-trough on the 



Clapham Road, also in the stream that runs through 



Clapham village. 

 L. truncatula. — A few on w^et rocks near the Pecca F'alls, 



Ingleton. 

 Ancylus fluviatilis. — Common in the stream running through 



Clapham village. I never tried for this species at Ingleton 



as the river was generally flooded, but no doubt it would 



occur there abundantly. 

 Succinea elegans. — One specimen only, on herbage in a wet 



ditch. Bentham Road, Ingleton. 

 Vitrina pellucida. — Moderately common in Helks Wood, also 



at Clapham, but only very small and poor specimens.
