300 TAYLOR : VARIATION OF LIMN^A PEREGRA. 



Reeve's Conch. Iconica, taken from an example in the collec- 

 tion of Mr. Sylvanus Hanley. 



It is worthy of note that the Rev. S. Spencer Pearce, while 

 staying in the vicinity of Lago di Como last season, found speci- 

 mens in that neighbourhood, hardly differing from those from 

 the original locality. I have never seen a British specimen of 

 this form. 



Westerlund says L. solidus Phil, is a synonym. 



The specimens figured here are from the original locality, 

 Gibilmanna, Madonie Mountains, Sicily, and were kindly given 

 me by Signor C. Platania-Platania, who had himself collected 

 them. 



Var. succineaeformis ShuUl. "Shell shaped like a Succinca, and very 

 thin, whorls four, spire small and oblique." — Jeffreys, 

 Bril. Conch., I., p. io6, 1862. 



This is in my opinion a rare variety, as I have 

 only seen this single specimen amongst the many 

 thousands of Z. peregra I have examined. 



L. succineaformis Shuttl. is figured by Sovverby 

 in Conch. Icon., plate viii., fig. 55, and agrees fairly well 

 with the outline I give here, which is that of a specimen kindly 

 given me by Mr. Fortey, and found by him near Ludlow. 



Judging from the figure I do not consider that the Gulnaria 

 ovata var. hasta of Clessin, a native of Hungary, differs in any 

 material point from this variety. 



SECTION C. 



Modifications other than those of form or outline and zuhich exist only 

 in combination with form-variation. 



In addition to the form-variations already enumerated and 

 figured, there are numerous other modifications, each more or 

 less noteworthy, which may, as already hinted at, co-exist in the 

 same shell with any of the foregoing variations of shape, or even 

 as in some exceptional cases several of these peculiariiies may 

 be combined in one and the same shell, creating at times a
