that the H. Cantiana of the continent really differs in so marked 

 a degree from the species to which we assign that name. The 

 organ in question is notoriously inconstant, even among indivi- 

 duals of the same species, in length, colour, turgidity, and 

 especially in the number and arrangement of the branches, but 

 when it occurs in a species, it is very rarely indeed absent from 

 an individual of that species. 



(Since the above was written I have had an opportunity of 

 examining Adolf Schmidt's "Geschl. der Stylomm." His figure 

 of H. Cantiana Mont, under Dupuy's name H. Galloprovmcialis 

 represents the vesiculse multifidae as I have described them; and 

 his figure of the organs of H. hispida corroborate what I have 

 said as to the double dart-sac.) 



Note on Bulimus Goodallii, Miller. — This West-Indian 

 species is not confined to the nursery grounds at Clifton and 

 Weybridge. For many years past it has flourished in the Orchid 

 houses of Mr. Day of Tottenham, from which locality I have pro- 

 cured specimens. At present B. Goodallii has no claim whatever 

 to a place in the British list, but as it is gradually gaining a foot- 

 ing and may possibly at some future time become fairly natural- 

 ised, I add this contribution to its early history. — C. Ashford. 



Limnaea palustris var. albida. — For the last four years, 

 I have found at Sandwich the variety albida — tinda form — of this 

 species, and in company with them the white variety of Limntza 

 tnmcatula but not so plentifully. — (Mrs) J. Fitzgerald, Folkestone. 



A white variety of Succinea elegans, Risso. — A short 

 time ago, I found three specimens of a white variety of Succinea 

 elegans. I have not heard of it before and it appears to be new 

 to Jeffreys. — J. D. Butterell, Beverley.
