132 JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY, VOL. 12, NO. 6, APRIL, I908. 



That much work still remains to be done by Wiltshire conchologists 

 is evident from the fact that for no less than fifteen species only one 

 locality is known at present. They include the above-mentioned new 

 records, also Arion inteiinedhis, Hygrofnia fusca, Azeca tridetts, 

 Vertigo substriata, V. pygmaa, V. angustior, Clausilia rolphii^ 

 Amphipeplea ghitinosa, Linmcea glabra, Pisidmm nitidiim, and P. 

 gassiesianum. 



A thorough exploration of Savernake Forest seems very desirable. 

 There is every reason to expect that conchologists would reap as rich 

 a harvest as did the mycologists during the visit of the British Myco- 

 logical Society in October, 1903. Here Lhnax tenellus should be 

 specially sought for. 



Testacella maugei Ferussac— Very local, apparently only 

 around Devizes and in the gardens at Longleat. South Broom, 

 Devizes (Miss Cunnington) ; Longleat Gardens, Warminster, J. Trol- 

 lope (Webb,y! of Malac, Dec, 1897, P- 49)- " They are sometimes 

 found in Devizes, but not in large numbers, and only when the 

 gardeners are preparing their ground for crops, or digging up their 

 crops ; the demand here for them, for the sake only of their palates, 

 is great, and the price high, comparatively. I have bought them at 

 a penny each, but since the demand has increased, so has the price ; 

 I have paid lately sixpence each for them." — (J. J. Fox, in Science 

 Gossip, vol. iii., p. 89). 



var. griseo-rubescens Gassies and Fischer. — -Longleat Gardens, 

 Warminster (J. A. Singer). 



Testacella haliotidea Draparnaud. — Distribution very local as 

 in the preceding species. " The Testacella itself is of rare occurrence, 

 probably because it burrows in the ground in winter, and is only 

 above ground at the close of the year. It is found at Trowbridge 

 and Devizes, indeed, the winter before last some gardener here made 

 a little pocket-money by selling all he found at sixpence apiece ; there 

 need be little doubt that those who hunt for them would very easily 

 secure numbers, although they are considered scarce." — -(Vize, in 

 Wiltshire Mag.,\o\. ix., p. 278). Longleat Gardens, near Warminster 

 (J. A. Singer). 



Limax maximus Linn^. — Generally distributed. Stourton, 

 Salisbury, Edington (E.W.S.) ; Salisbury, common (Vize) ; Devizes 

 (Miss Cunnington) ; Vicarage garden, Steeple Ashton, 1887 (E. P. 

 Knubley) ; Marlborough (Bromehead). 



var, cinereo-niger Wolf.— Sub-var. vera Dumont and Mortillet. 

 Teffent (H. Wyndham). 



var. fasciata Moquin-Tandon. — Clyffe Pypard, Swindon (God- 

 dard); Stourton (E.W.S. ); Longleat gardens, Warminster (J. A. Singer).
