i'AYLOR : ON TESTACELLA SCUfULUM. 345 



Worcester. — Mr. G. Reece, of the Worcester Museum, kindly sent in 

 Novr., 1883, a specimen found by Mr. W. Wood, in his garden in the city. 

 Mr. Reece adds the information, that he finds it in the gardens of Barbourne 

 Terrace and Britannia Square, both places within Worcester borough. 



Leicester. — Bel voir Castle gardens, from which place specimens were 

 sent in Jan. 1888, by the head-gardener, Mr. Ingram, to Mr. Quilter, who 

 kindly forwarded them to me for identification. 



Nottingham. — Common according to Mr. R. A. Rolfe, in the gardens 

 and f ircing-houses at Welbeck Abbey, where they were first noticed in 1878, 

 the greatest number of specimens were collected in one of the long Peach- 

 houses. In 1884, we received one of Mr. Rolfe's specimens, through the kind- 

 ness of Mr. C. T. Musson, who had by error published the discovery in 1879, 

 as T. mangei, afterwards altered by him to haliotidea, under which name 

 Mr. Rolfe and others also record the occurrence. 



Cheshire. — Mr. J. T. Riches finds this species fairly numerous at Hoole, 

 and sent us a small specimen in November 1883. 



Mr. T. Ruddy has found it on the rockwork in the Nurseries of Messrs. 

 Dickson & Sons, of Chester. 



Mr. G. W. Shrubsole (Proc. Chester Soc. Nat. Sci., 1884.) records it as 

 rare in Upton lanes, Chester, and in some grassy lanes adjoining extensive 

 Nursery grounds, from which locality he sent us a living specimen in 1886. 



Yorkshire. — The Testacellre found by Mr. John Emmet at Padman's 

 Nurseries, Boston Spa, and the specimen found at Headingley, near Leeds, 

 by Mr. Edgar R. Waite, judging from the descriptions, probably belong to 

 this species, but accidental circumstances have prevented our seeing and 

 verifying the species. 



Specimens labelled ' T. scuUtliun, Beverley, Yorkshire,' are, as I am in- 

 formed by Dr. J. W. Williams, in the Museum of the Middlesex Hospital 

 Medical College, but they are doubtless referable to T. haliotidea, a species 

 known to occur commonly at Beverley. 



Durham. — Through the kindness of Mr. R. Y. Green, we received two 

 specimens found in November, 1876, in the garden of Mr. Edward Crawshay, 

 Bensham Hall, near Gateshead. Mr. Howse, Curator of the Newcastle 

 Museum, informs us that it is also found further up the Tyne at Axwell 

 Park, &c. 



SCOTLAND. 



Fife and Kinross. — Only one locality is as yet known in Scotland, viz. : 

 The St. Brycedale Nurseries of Messrs. E. Sang & Sons, of Kirkcaldy, where 

 it has been known to exist for twenty-five years or more, and from which 

 locality we received a living specimen through the influence of the Rev. J. 

 McMurtrie, M.A. 



IRELAND. 



Cork, N. — Discovered many years ago by Mr. R. Ball in the town gardens 

 at Youghal. In a garden at Bandon a Testacellus has been procured by G. 

 J. Allman. The Irish specimens agree with English examples of v. sctituhim 

 with which I have been favoured by Mr. G. B. Sowerby. — Thompson, Annals 

 and Mag. Nat. Hist., Sept., 1840.
