Reversed Helices recently found in Lancashire.— Hearing through my 

 friend, Mr. R. Welch, of Belfast, that a gentleman in Blackpool had recently found 

 several reversed and scalariform shells in that district, I put myself in communica- 

 tion with him, and am pleased to record and exhibit the following shells, all found 

 by Mr. R. Drummond, of Blackpool : — Helix nonoralis m. sinistrorsuin, 1 2345, 

 12345, 00300. One dead specimen and two living ones. Found between Black- 

 pool and Fleetwood. (12)3(45), 12345, 12045, 00300. Four specimens of which 

 only the last one was alive. Found between Southport and the mouth of the river 

 Ault at Hightovvn. Helix aspersa m. sinistrorsunt. One dead specimen found at 

 the bottom of a wet ditch, outside an old garden, at Little Laylon near Blackpool. 

 Also one living specimen found amongst liundreds of others in an old garden near 

 Churclitown, Southport, when the trees and hedges were being uprooted to level (he 

 ground. In addition to the above, ]Mr. Drummond also found both at Southport 

 and Blackpool a good number of scalariform H. ' nciiioralis, some extremely high in 

 the spire with very deep sutures. Amongst the Southport shells I also find two 

 specimens of the peculiar extension of the mouth after maturity, as found by me last 

 September, at Bundoran, county Donegal. All the above shells have been found 

 within the last two to three years. Seeing the limited number of //. nenioralis found 

 on the Blackpool and Southport coasts compared with the large quantities found at 

 Bundoran , a find of seven reversed H. nenioraiis, three of which were alive, is 

 very remarkable, and leads us to hope that others will be as successful if they will 

 on!)' work these districts thoroughly. — Edward Collier, Feb. 27. 1901 [Read
