FARRER: MOLLUSCA OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT. 
rupestris Drap.—In great numbers on walls at Keswick, 
Ambleside, Bassenthwaite and other places. On the walls 
surrounding Armathwaite Park, the beautiful seat of Mr. 
Hartley, at Bassenthwaite, this snail simply swarms and 
many unusually fine examples have been taken therefrom. 
A few specimens were also found amongst the stones com- 
posing the cairn on Skiddaw summit, at an elevation of 
3,054 feet. 
pygmeea Drap.—Very abundant throughout the entire 
district amongst dead leaves. 
lamellata Jeff.—Not common, though it may be taken 
throughout by careful searching. I have mostly taken it 
from amongst the heaps of dead leaves and road scrapings 
left at road-sides by the cleaners ; also amongst moss at 
Lodore Falls. 
. aculeata Miull.—This may be called one of our commonest 
snails, abounding in the woods, on dry walls and amongst 
newly-fallen leaves. A few of the var. albida taken at 
Bassenthwaite. 
. pulchella Miill.—Curiously enough I have taken this shell 
only in one locality, and that the moss-grown roof of an 
old mill at Bassenthwaite. Probably carried thither by 
birds, as I have searched the immediate neighbourhood and 
elsewhere in the district for it in vain. 
. aspersa Miull.—Fairly common in gardens at Keswick. A 
few at Buttermere and four specimens at Bassenthwaite is my 
record for this species. Seemingly rare in the district. 
. nemoralis L.—Not at all common, although a fair number 
may be collected throughout. What seems to be the var. 
undulata is the common form at Bassenthwaite and 
Keswick. The vars. albolabiata and roseolabiata also occur. 
. hortensis Miill.—Very abundant, but so far I have only 
met with the yellow-coloured variety. In the hedge-rows 
when the Celandine is in bloom it is most difficult to dis- 
tinguish the shells from the flowers, so much are they alike
