Freshwater Shells," second edition) says : " Wherever Ily^. ru/escens 

 is found, there will Ify,i:^. hispida be found." In the Grange dis- 

 trict I cannot say that this holds true, for in several places where 

 H. rufescens occurred there was no sign of H. hispida ; examples 

 of the latter, as far as my observations went, were decidedly few 

 and far between. Grange Fell Road ; Low Meathop ; Eggerslack

var. depilata (Alder). — This variety was taken in two local- 

 ities. In the second no type shells were found, only the variety 

 existed, mingled with a colony of If. caperata^ from which it was 

 at first very difficult to distinguish while crawling on the grass. 

 Hawkshead \ Grange Fell Road, near the Cemetery. 



Hygromia rufescens (Pennant). — As will be seen from list 

 of localities, this species is well distributed, and a very common 

 shell ; next to Jamitiia cylindracea it is perhaps the commonest and 

 most abundant in the district, but grows to no large size, and 

 varies little, var. riibens being the most abundant. Many of the 

 shells are dwarfed in size and very thin. Haggs Lane, Cartmel :

var. rubens Moquin-Tandon. — In some places predominating 

 over the type, and abundant where it occurs. Grange Fell Road ;

var. albocincta Cockerell. — Almost as common and widely 

 dispersed as var. rubens, and the two are usually found in association. 

 Same localities as var. rubens.

m. subscalariforme. — A single specimen discovered in 

 Eggerslack Wood, in 1903, by Mr. J. W. Jackson. 



Acanthinula aculeata (Beck). — Presumably not a very 

 common species, although easily overlooked. Taken in Eggerslack 

 Wood only. Mr. Jackson informs me that he found it common 

 on holly leaves in this wood, in 1905. Lindale (W.D.R. ), / of
