of the Lesser Celandine. We at length came to Havercroft Green, 
which was our destination. Here there are a number of small ponds, 
in one of which we collected a fair quantity of Zémncea glabra, which 
I think may be referred to the variety swbu/ata (Kick.), as figured 
by Clessin (Deutsche Exc. Moll. Fauna, Fig. 256, 1884). The only 
other shell we obtained here was Pisidium pusillum. Before leaving 
here it began to rain, and went on at a steadily increasing rate until 
we got to Ryhill, where we stopped to shelter ; but at length we were 
obliged to turn out and trudge along in the pouring rain to 
Wintersett. Leaving the village our troubles commenced, for Hebden, 
who usually displays a want of knowledge of localities, out-Herods 
himself by taking us a considerable distance across ploughed fields, 
only to discover that he is hopelessly lost. At length we reached the 
wall of Haw Park ; this we skirted till we got in sight of Walton, and 
so from there to Sandal and Wakefield, where we arrived thoroughly 
drenched.
