Pupa ringens in Guernsey. — It is interesting to 

 record the occurrence of this northern species so far south as 

 Guernsey. I first found it here in some abundance at Moulin 

 Huet three years ago, and since then I have taken specimens 

 from time to time in various other localities on the south coast 

 of the island. My first impression was that it had been intro- 

 duced, either intentionally or accidentally, but its comparatively 

 wide distribution favors the belief that Pupa ringens is truly 

 indigenous to Guernsey. Its usual habitat is at the roots of 

 umbelliferous and other plants close to running water, low down 

 the valleys ; but it also occurs among mosses at the head of 

 one of the cliff rivulets at an elevation of three hundred feet 

 above the sea. — E. D. Marquand, Fermain, Guernsey, 

 January 6th, i8g2 (read before the Conchological Society, 2nd 

 March, i8g2). 



Zonites glaber var. viridula=viridans. — Mr. L. E. 



Adams, 'Journal of Conchology,' 1890, p. 265, has proposed the 

 name viridula for the greenish variety of Z. glaber. It is, how- 

 ever, identical with my var. viridans, described in. ' Science 

 Gossip,' 1885, p. 226, the latter name, of course, having priority.

Helix virgata monst. sinistrorsum. — I have to record 

 the taking of a live, half-grown specimen of this variety near 

 St. Sampsons, Guernsey, in August 1891. It was crawling up 

 a grass stem in company with others of the usual form. The 

 ground round was carefully searched, but no more were to be 

 found. — E. R. Sykes, Weymouth, October yth, i8gi (read before 

 the Conchological Society, 2nd March, i8g2). 



Helix virgata Da Costa monst. sinistrorsum Taylor 

 from Colwyn Bay. — Mr. J. Ray Hardy took a fine example 

 of this monstrosity at Colwyn Bay during a visit in September 

 last, and showed it, along with a scalariform specimen from 

 the same place, at the October meeting of the Manchester 

 Branch. — R. Standen, November i6th, i8gi.
