I spent about a week each time, and devoted all my 

 energies to land shells, as the shore seemed absolutely barren, 

 even at the lowest tides. I only got a few small shells off the 

 Laminaria beds, and those common species. — May loth, 1885. 



[At the time I worked at the Llandudno shells I was — like Mr. 

 Tomlin — surprised I did not meet with H. ericetormn,, and 

 am glad it has fallen to the lot of a more fortunate col- 

 lector. — W. Denison Roebuck.]
