since collected on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, near 

 "Gay head," differing in no way from European specimens, 

 except being thinner and lighter, 



F. rufescens Pennant. — I found a few living on the Island of 

 Naushon (Buzzard's Bay), on the south side near the 

 "French watering place," in 1859 or i860. 



Succinea ovalis Gould, nee Say. — New Bedford, Dartmouth, 

 and Westport. Common. 



S. avara Say. — Westport. Very local. 



S. obliqua Say (=6". ovalis Say =61 canipestris kwcl. non Say). 

 — Tiverton, Rhode Island. Very variable, but generally 

 the typical form is found in swaley places on hill sides ; 

 very nearly allied to S. ovalis Gould. 



S. totteniana Lea. — Westport and Tiverton. Rare. Very 

 much like S. obliqua Say, but thinner and more like a 

 pellicle. 



Tachea hortensis Miiller. — I have found large numbers of 

 the bright lemon-yellow variety of this shell on Martha's 

 Vineyard, near " Gay head," never on mainland. Of 

 course, introduced from Europe. I tried some in my 

 garden, but the slugs, " limax, Arion, &c.," devoured the 

 young, and I could never succeed in getting mature 

 specimens. 



Helix ericetorum at Llandudno. — In Mr, Roebuck's 

 list of Llandudno moUusca ('Journ. Conch.') no mention is 

 made of this species. The Rev. Hilderic Friend has sent me 

 several specimens from that locality, where he says it was 

 plentiful in one spot. The specimens are interesting on account 

 of the unusual breadth of the band above the periphery, which 

 in one or two even reaches the suture. Several belong to the 

 var. alba, and have translucent and colourless bands. — T. D. A.
