176 SCOTT: MOLLUSCA OF LINDORES' LOCH. 



H. nemoralis is also common in and about Cupar, Darsie, 

 and other inland places, but the shells seem to me to be of a 

 heavier build and there are fewer unicoloured varieties ; near 

 Cupar also, I noticed Liniax maxinms L., there were two or 

 three specimens, and they were all banded longitudinally, the 

 bands being alternately dark and light coloured ; Zonites cellarius 

 (Miill.) and Pupa umbilicata Drap. were also noticed in the same 

 neighbourhood. 



In the vicinity of the railway station at Burntisland I obser- 

 ved a few specimens of Helix aspersa Miill. It did not seem that 

 their life-work was carried on under very favourable conditions, 

 if one could safely judge by their appearance, for they were 

 rather stunted in growth and their shells were sadly eroded and 

 blackened from the frequent smoke-baths to which they were 

 subjected by the incessant coming and going of railway engines, 

 and possibly the sooty grass they had to live on was not good 

 for their health ; they had such a dilapidated appearance that 

 one felt inclined to gather them all into the vasculum and trans- 

 fer them to some dewy hedgerow where they would have pure 

 air and clean grass. 



A few specimens of H. aspersa which I brought with me 

 from Burntisland measured on an average about ig^ inch in 

 height and i^ inch in greatest breadth. 



During my visit I had very little time to spare for con- 

 chological work, which will explain why so few species are here 

 recorded. Perhaps during another visit the molluscs will be more 

 attended to. 



Pisidium roseum and Vertigo antivertigo in East 



Kent. — Yesterday I found Pisidimn roseum and Vertigo anti- 

 vertigo, associated with other species already recorded, at 

 Minster, near Sandwich. I am not aware that these two species 

 have been found in any other Kentish locality.— Sydney C.
