On behalf of the Rev. T. vShankland, of Mold, Flintshire, were exhibited 

 as new county records for Flintshire : Vitrina pellucida, from Maes y Terwen

On behalf of Mr. Lionel E. Adams, B.A., was exhibited an example of 

 Helix vermiculata, which he had a short time ago received from Barnsley, as 

 purporting to have come from Kent. He had tried to trace its history with 

 the following unsatisfactory result: — 'It arrived in Barnsley in January in a 

 parcel of horehound, consigned to a chemist there. The said horehound is 

 of reputed Kentish growth, but was purchased in the ordinary way of busi- 

 ness from a herbalist in London who deals largely in foreign herbs, and as 

 the horehound may have been in the warehouse several months, the chances 

 are the Helix got on to the horehound in London from foreign herbs.' 



On behalf of Rev. Herbert Milnes were shown Helix aspersa from 

 Jersey, and numerous H, arbustorum from Winster, Derbyshire, including
