over-Sands (R.S.), 1897; Kirkby Lonsdale ; and also at the aqueduct 

 and along the canal margins at Aldcliffe, Lancaster. 



H. sericea Drapamaud (fion Jeffreys). — 



By the courtesy and on the authority of Mr. A. S. Kennard, F.G.S., 

 I am able here to state that many of the records for the district of 

 Helix hispida L. var. hispidosa Mousson [=^ /z/V//^^ Jeffreys] should, 

 beyond doubt, be referred to this species. This will seem to some a 

 somewhat premature statement to make, but until Mr. Kennard's 

 notes on his investigations see the light I trust that the above will 

 be allowed to stand for the time being in deference to the authority. 

 Lancaster; Warton. (Specimens determined by A.S.K.). Common 

 in the Silverdale district. 



(?) H. hispida L. — The above remarks, of course, affect this 

 species. "Helix hispida and var. hispidosa^' has been a frequent 

 record for the district. Mr. Kennard says : " The true hispida is the 

 shell that used to be called concittna.'" 



H. rufescens Pennant. — Exceedingly abundant everywhere 

 throughout the district. Lancaster (David IJyson, 1850); Lower 

 Wyresdale ; the Yealands ; Arnside ; Grange-over-Sands ; Staveley 

 to Newby Bridge ; etc. 



var. rubens Moquin-Tandon. — Common everywhere with the 

 type. 



var. alba Moquin-Tandon. — Scarce. Odd specimens at Lan- 

 caster ; Kirkby Lonsdale ; Warton ; Grange-over-Sands. 

 Fossil at Hale Moss, Burton-in-Kendal. 



Acanthinula aculeata Miiller. — Lancaster (David Dyson) 1850. 

 This record has acted as an incentive to diligent search, but nothing 

 has come of such. A later record is Deep-Cutting (J. W. Jackson, 

 one specimen), 1903. Common in the limestone area; Warton; the 

 Yealands ; Silverdale ; Grange-over-Sands (R.S.).

 thirty specimens, among leaves, in the Eggerslack Wood (F. Booth), 

 1906.

 district on mossy stones or on the top of walls; generally under trees.
