Cochlicopa lubrica Miiller. — Plentiful in damp places. In 

 the Engadine it is of the usual size, even high up on the 

 mountains above 7000 ft. Just as plentiful in the Bergel 

 Valley. A small form also occurred at Stampa, Vico- 

 soprano, and Promontogno. 

 Carychium minimum Miiller. — At roots of grass by the 

 mountain streams about Maloja, 6000 ft. ; also at Casaccia 

 in the Bergel Valley. 



Beyond noticing the great altitudes at which most of the 

 above thirty-seven species were taken, it is of interest to realise 

 how many of these Alpine forms are the same as our English 

 species. While thirty-one agree exactly with English species, 

 and five others — Vitiina elongata, Zonites petro?iella, Helix 

 ruderata, H. holoserka, and Clausilia plicatula, are closely allied 

 to English forms, only one. Helix zonata Studer is southern 

 and un-English. 



Further, of the species mentioned by Mr. Christy in his 

 paper as found at the St. Moritz end of the Engadine Valley, 

 all (except two forms, viz., Planorbis cotitortiis and Succinea 

 elegans) are found at the Maloja end as well, together with 

 several additional kinds not recorded by that writer. 



Occurrence of Planorbis lineatus in Montgomery- 

 shire. — It may interest some of your readers to know that 

 Planorbis lineatus has been discovered in this county. In the 

 beginning of May last, I was fortunate enough to find several 

 specimens of this elegant little Planorbis, in a pool of stagnant 

 water in a field near the Welshpool Railway Station. The pond 

 is very small in size, its original dimensions having been greatly 

 curtailed by an accumulation of mud, which occupies the greater 

 portion of it. Specimens of the Planorbis are not at all scarce, 

 and are associated with Sphcerium corneum, Bythinia tentaculata, 

 Lifnncea peregra, Succinea elegans, Sac. Mr. Wotton has al- 

 ready recorded the occurrence of P. lineatus at Cardiff, and 

 these two localities are, I believe, the only places in the 

 Principality where it is known to occur. — J. Bickerton Morgan.
