Testacella haliotidea in North Staffordshire. — This mollusc has within the 

 last few weeks been added to the North Staffordshire list, through the energy ot 

 Mr. James Kirkby. Some years ago Mr. Kirkby assured me that he had seen 

 Testacella in his garden at Trentham, and promised to keep a look out for its again 

 turning up, with the result that on the 5th October last he was able to send me two 

 specimens for identification, which had been found by Mr. Nicklin, of Trentham, in 

 his kitchen garden, on 29th September last, about eighteen inches to two feet below 

 the surface of the soil. Since then three more specimens have been found by Mr. 

 Nicklin, so it is clear that this Testacella is well established in the neighbourhood. 

 The question remains — Is it indigenous or introduced ? Upon reporting this find 

 of Testacella at the last evening meeting of the North Staffordshire Field Club, held 

 on Wednesday, the 17th November last, at Stoke-upon-Trent, a most interesting 

 discussion ensued as to the range of the Testacellida; in the British Isles, and how 

 far geological formation, especially that of the New Red Sandstone, affects the occur- 

 rence of these molluscs. Mr. L. E. Adams, Mr. C. de Ranee (of the Geological 

 Survey), and Dr. Hind took part in the discussion. It would seem that sandy or 

 peaty geological formations would not naturally be acceptable environments for 

 Testacella, as its food, consisting of earth-worms, is but very scantily found in 

 those formations. I shall be glad to receive information on this subject from any of 

 the members of the Conchological Society who have made the Testacellidte a study.
