Succinea oblonga m. sinistrorsum.— Shell sinistral. 

 This form which is, I believe, new to science, was picked out 

 by me from amongst a few of the typical form kindly given by 

 Mr. McLellan. The specimens were found in an old road-side 

 quarry in South Perthshire during the autumn of 1893 by a 

 conchological friend of Mr. McLellan's. — John W. Taylor, 

 February, 1893.
