TOMLIN : LAND-SHELLS OF LUNDY ISLAND. 121 



island {Zoologist, vol. 3, p. 897, and vol. 5, p. 1753), as also Mr. F. 

 Smith, the well-known hymenopterist, in August, 1864, and 1874 (Ent 

 Mo7ith. Mag., vol 6, p. 134, and vol. 11, p. iit). Dr. Joy collected 

 beetles there in August, 1905 and induced me to accompany him on 

 a second visit in April, 1906. These I believe to be the only records 

 of naturalists visiting Lundy, except, perhaps, in the case of ornitholo- 

 gists. It may be interesting to note that we not uncommonly saw 

 the buzzard and the peregrine falcon sailing by on outstretched wing^, 

 and on one occasion watched a hoopoe, from only twenty or thirty 

 yards away, hungrily hunting about, most likely after a long journey. 



The following is the detailed list of species; none exhibited any 

 noticeable deviation from the type, such as one might, perhaps, have 

 expected. From entomological reasons one may probably infer that 

 the island has been separated from the mainland for a very long 

 period. 



Limax flavus L. — Observed once or twice in damp ground. 



Agriolimax agrestis L.— Common. 



A. laevis Mlill. — Common. 



Milax SOwerbyi Fer. — Occasional; on old walls. 



Vitrina pellucida Mi.ill. — Fairly common. 



Vitrea crystallina Miill. — A few in moss. 



V. cellaria Miill. — Only dead shells. 



V. alliaria Miller. — Not uncommon in moss. 



V. nitidula Drap. — Not uncommon in moss. 



V. pura var. nitidosa Gray. — I did not find the type, though it 

 doubtless occurs. 



V. radiatula Alder. — -Common in moss. 



Zonitoides nitidus Miill. — Common in marshy ground towards 

 the north end. 



Euconulus fulvus Miill. — Not uncommon but small, 



Arion ater L. — Not uncommon. 



A. fasciatus Nilsson. — Not uncommon. 



Punctum pygmaeum Drap. — A few in moss. 



Sphyradium edentulum Drap.— Common. 



Pyramidula rotundata Miill. — Common and rather large. 



Helicella caperata Mont. — Dead shells only. 



Hygromia granulata Alder. — Rare; strange to say I did not 

 observe H. hispida L. 



H. revelata Fe'r. — Not at all uncommon on the cliffs in situations 

 similar to those in which it occurs in the Channel Isles. Only a short 

 time before it turned up, I remarked on the possibility of finding it 

 and the likely appearance of the ground. Lundy with its granite 

 cliffs is, I imagine, geologically similar to the Channel Isles.
