14 JOURNAL OF CONCHOI.OGY, VOL. I4, NO. I, JANUARY, I913. 



Cheshire : Mr. J. Davy Dean has sulmnitled several examples of Pupa anglica, 

 collected at Compstall, in 1903, by Mr. J. W. Jackson. 



Cheviotland : Mr. A. M. Oliver did good work in August, 1912, near Bamburgh, 

 and sent Zonitoides niiidus and Vertigo fusilla from Spindlestone ; Vertigo 

 pygniaa, one from Glororum, and a large colony under stones by roadside near 

 Twizel House, Belford, and one Sfhy radium edentuhini fiom the last-named 

 locality, Acanthiiitila lamellata, near Twizel House, and Spharium laaistie 

 from a pond at Beadnell. He also sent Anodonta anatina, Pisidiu?>i amnicuin, 

 and Plaiioiins alines, all common in the river Coquet, near Wark worth, the 

 Anodonta being all of small size and brown in colour. As the river Coquet is 

 here the dividing line between Cheviotland and Northumberland South, the 

 species taken are referable to both vice-counties, and therefore they are new 

 for Cheviotland. 



He also sent a number of Hygromia rn/escetis, hem a garden in Bamburgh 

 village. This completes the range of this species for England, except that 

 we have not seen it from Essex South, and that it does not seem to occur at all 

 in Nottinghamshire, despite the numerous conchologists who have from time to 

 time so thoroughly investigated that county, thus making it a case of real 

 absence, not merely want of record. 



Co. Clare : Mr. R. A. Phillips has sent Palndestrina confiisa, a few, Phytia 

 myosotis, numerous, and Ovatella bidentala, numerous, all taken at Kilrush, April, 

 1 912. These have been duly verified by Mr. Ered. Taylor. 



Devon South : Mrs. Longstaff has sent Hyalinia radia/ula and its var. virides- 

 centi-alba, one exami:)Ie of each, taken at Chagfoid. Mr. J. E. Cooper collected 

 Valvata cristata at Colyford, in June, 1912, and sent several examples for 

 authentication. 



Durham : Mr. B. R. Lucas has submitted examples oi Hygromia rjifescens taken 

 by him in 1896, near Darlington, where it is very common. 



Essex North : Through the kindness of Mr. W. Cole and Mr. H. Whitehead, 

 B.Sc, curators of the Essex Museum, w'e have seen Vivipara contecia and 

 Palndestrina stagfialis, taken at Colchester by Mr. H. Laver ; Enconiiliis 

 ftilvHS, West Bergholt and Leigh Wick ; and Ovatella bidentata, Wyvenhoe. 



Essex South : Through the kindness of the same gentlemen, we have been able to 

 authenticate the following species : Testacella haliotidea, Widford (W. M.Webb); 

 Ovatella bidentata, Eoulness (Dalton) ; Assiminia groyana and Palndestrina 

 stagnatis, Tilbury Marshes (A. J. Jenkins) ; P. ventrosa, Thurrocks Marsh 

 (A. J. Jenkins); and Vertigo pygmcea, Ingrave (W. M. Webb). 



Flintshire : Miss A. Steele Peikins, of Mount Road, Rhyl, sent me two consign- 

 ments of slugs on the 5th and 12th June, 1912, which included three species not 

 hitherto seen and authenticated for Flintshire. These were Limax 7iiaxitJiiis, one 

 type and one adult var. obsctira, very dark uniform colour, with the keel only 

 slightly paler; L.Jlavus, several typical adults; Aricn intermedins, a few. 

 Along with these were examples of the already recorded Arion hortensis, A. 

 circiimscriptus and var. neitstriaca, Agriolimax agrestis in both its common 

 forms, and a very minute example of Milax sownbyi var. fallidissima sub-var. 

 insolita, this last being the Striking form of which Miss Perkins sent me so many 

 fine examples in 1904. 



Forfarshire : The Conchological Society's voucher-collection at Manchester con- 

 tains the following in a collection made by Dr. Thomas Scott: Planorbis 

 fontanus, one juv., Pisidiitm nitidiim, one, both from Balgavie Loch ; and 

 Pisidiiim snbtrtmcatiD/i, one from Rescobie Loch.
