an unusual character, being decidedly umbilicate. The &. 
aspersa showed more variation here than in any other locality we 
visited—five full-grown and several immature examples of the 
var. exalbida were found, as wellas a few of var. wxzdulata. H. 
rupestiis was plentiful on the walls throughout the island, and a 
small dark form of A. eviceforwm was abundant. A. acuta and 
HT. virgata were locally common, but exhibited little variation 
worthy of note, and a few Pupa muscorum were observed. We 
only searched a small portion of the shore near Kilronan, where 
Rissoa parva and R. violacea occurred inabundance. Luccionum 
undatum var. paupercuda was common under stones, and Chiton 
marginatus was taken by Miss Kelsall. A pretty red variety of 
Littorina rudis was common on the rocks at Kilronan, and a 
huge fragment of wreckage full of living Zeredo norvegica was 
noticed on the beach. 
On Tuesday, the 16th, we went by train to Oughterard, and 
thence by car along the shore of Lough Corrib—a vast lake 
diversified with islands great and small. The main party pro- 
ceeded to Carn Sefin, whilst we, along with Messrs. R. Welch 
and F. J. Bigger—who wished, if possible, to cross to the island 
of Inchangoil lying about two miles out in the lake—turned our 
car into the demesne of Mr. Hy. Hodgson, J.P., of Currarevagh. 
He, although we were all entire strangers to him, received us 
with characteristic Irish hospitality, and generously placed at our 
service a couple of good boats in which we were rowed by his 
men to the lovely little island—celebrated as being the burial 
place of Lugnaedon, St. Patrick’s nephew, and replete with other 
historic associations. ‘The fascination of the place was in no 
wise lessened by the feeling that we were probably the first con- 
chologists who had ever set foot upon this secluded spot ! 
Amongst the hoary old monuments around the two ancient 
ruined churches on the island, we found many 4. aspersa, and 
small-sized WZ. nemoralis ; very pale-coloured 4. aculeata, on the 
decayed stems of blackberry and briars, which grow in great 
luxuriance ; and HZ. pygmea, and Ayalinia fulva amongst moss-
