 for corroboration, and asked Captain McDakin to communicate 

 with the Rev. R. Horsley, whom I had heard of as an ardent 

 collector of mollusca round Dover, thinking he might have 

 introduced a colony ; but this is not the case. I have since 

 examined the locality with the discoverer ; on the first visit we
