8o JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY. 



Cyclostoma elegans Miill. — Mr. F. Harding has recently 

 sent me the varieties /a/Z/i^a diXidifasdata from Willingdon. 

 near Eastbourne. In the same box he sent also Hyalina 

 excavata Bean, from Heathfield, Sussex. 



Limnaea peregra var. solemia (Zgl.) Moq. — More ventri- 

 cose, whorls more convex. Near Clonmel, Ireland (A. H. 

 Delap). 



Limnaea auricularia (L.) Drap. — The vaiieties ventricosa 

 Htm. and monnardi Htm., as well as L. siagnalis var. 

 raphidia Bourg., are recorded for Middlesex by G. Nevill 

 in Hand List of Moll, in Ind. Mus. Calcutta, part i, p. 238. 



Limnaea palustris var. minor Taylor, 1883. — Var. nii?ior 

 Locard (An. Soc. D'Agricul. Hist. Nat. et Arts utiles de 

 Lyon, 1879) has priority of publication. 



Sph^rium corneum (L.). — J. E. Gray (Brit. Mus. Cat.) 

 describes two British varieties of this which seem to have 

 been overlooked — ^var. compressa, rather compresed, mar- 

 gins meeting at an acute angle, and var. minor, small and 

 nearly globular. 



Pisidium amnicum Miill. — The varieties striolata and 

 Iceviuscula of Moquin-Tandon, were originally described as 

 British (though without names) by Jenyns in his mono- 

 graph. 



Paludina contecta in Nottinghamshire and York- 

 shire. — During a conchological ramble with my friend, Mr. 

 Musson, of Nottingham, this species was found in tolerable 

 abundance in a dyke on the Nottingham side of the River Idle, 

 near Bawtry. On the Yorkshire side we found several shells 

 among the rejectamenta of a small stream. On a previous ex- 

 cursion we collected a number of Balea perversa beneath the 

 loose bark of willow trees, growing near the junction, and within 

 each, of the parishes of Darlton, East Markham, and East 

 Drayton.— W. A. Gain, Tuxford, May 28th, 1886.
