To these localities may be added Cooper's Hill, near

 Winchester, Hants, by Mr. B. Tomlin ; Knaresborough, and

Physa fontinalis var. albina Jeffr. — The only recorded 

 locality for this form in our text books is Birkenhead, given 

 on the authority of Webster. 



Mr. Ashford informs me he has specimens collected at 

 Scarborough by the late Mr. Bean ; Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell 

 has found a single specimen at Heme Bay, Kent ; and I have 

 a very characteristic specimen kindly given me by Mr. J. 

 Pickering, of London, and collected by him in the neighbour- 

 hood of the metropolis. — J. W. Taylor, June 19th, 1883.

Limnaea palustris var. globosa n. v. (pi. i., fig. 3, 4). Shell 

 globosely oval, with a very short spire, and five very 

 swollen and tumid whorls. Length io|^mill., breadth 

 7^ mill. Aperture — length yi mill., breadth ^^ mill. 



This interesting variety has been found by Mr. 



S. C. Cockerell, at Enfield, in company with the 



typical form. The shell seems quite regular in its 



growth and bears a startling resemblance to the tumid 



form of Z. peregra ; but after a careful examination 



I am of opinion it is correctly referred to Z. palustris. 



It is finely striated in the line of growth, and faintly 



malleated on the last whorl, caused by the somewhat 



blunt spiral ridges, between which there are faint 



revolving strife. The whorls are very convex and 



shouldered, and the columella is decidedly that of 



L. palustris. — J. W. Taylor, June 25th, 1883.
