In V. lucida, however, the deep blue colour, in all specimens I have 

 observed, always extends over the footsole, though here it is usually 

 paler; in V. cellaria var., the footsole is almost white, the blue colour 

 finishing off abruptly at the margins of the side-areas. A little 

 attention to this point often settles the question at once. In extreme 

 cases of doubt anatomical examinations will soon decide the matter. 

 I am strongly in favour of this latter course when dealing with im- 

 mature shells, as I know of several instances where these large forms 

 of cellaria have been placed on record as lucida. So far I have not 

 succeeded in finding any fixed characters to distinguish the shells of 

 immature lucida from those of the above mentioned variety of cellaria, 

 and on this account I am somewhat reticent in recording, as V. lucida, 

 several fossil shells obtained, along with scores of V. cellaria, from 

 the cave-earth at Dog Holes, Warton Crag.^ These shells have a 

 remarkable resemblance to V. lucida, and differ altogether from V. 

 cellaria. They are, unfortunately, immature, and until further mature 

 examples are found, it would, perhaps, be unwise to record them as 

 V. lucida, especially as hitherto this species has not been found fossil 

 in this country — the few doubtful specimens from the Happaway 

 Cavern, Devonshire, being excepted. 



New Herefordshire Records. — The thiee following species, which I look 

 last summer, are new to Herefordshire, M\z.:—Planorbis vortex (L.), iluntsham 

 Pool; Pisidhnn subtruncatnm Malm, and P. gassiesiamim Dup., common in a 

 pond at Ham Green, between West Malvern and Mathon. The following ad- 

 ditional localities may be noted : Agriolimax Imvis (Miill.), Mordiford, Whitbourne, 

 Hay, Hard wick, Cusop Dingle; Hygromia fusca (Mont.), Kerne Bridge, Whit- 

 church, Kilpeck, Cusop, and very common on the Great Doward ; H. arbnstorum 

 (L.), Sapey Bridge; Azeca iridens (Pult.), Cusop Dingle, common; Clausilia 

 laminaia (Mont.), Hardwick, Cusop, Great Doward; Sphyradiuin edenhilinn 

 (Drap.), Kerne Bridge, Colwall, Ledbury, Great Doward; Neritina fltcviatilis 

 (L. ), common in the Teme near Whitbourne ; Anodonta cygncea var. anatina L., 

 West Malvern ; Sphceriiim lacustre (Miill.), Mathon and Holme Lacey. — J. R. LE 

 B. TOMLIN {Read before the Society, January 12th, 1910). 



Paludestrina jenkinsi in West Sussex. — Early in September of this year 

 (1909) I found P. jeiikitisi in characteristic quantities for a mile in the ditches 

 connected with the river Adur at Beeding. I could find none in the river itself, 

 but it is quite possible for the shells to be washed inland, as the river is tidal some 

 miles above Beeding. At Shoreham Baltic timber is unloaded. The shells were 

 all of the uncarinated form. — Lionel E. Adams {Read before the Society, 

 November loth, 1909).
