OLDHAM : LAND AND FRESHWATER MOLLUSCA OF CHESHIRE. II9 



Pupa muscorum (L.). Rare except on the coast. City walls 

 and Navigation Cop, Chester (Bellars). New Brighton (Dyson). 

 Leasowe (Byerley). Meols, West Kirby (W.J.F.). The only 

 inland locality of which I have any record is Marple aqueduct 

 (Hardy), and I can find no trace of the shell there now. 



Vertigo antivertigo (Drap.). Only recorded from WirraL Near 

 Oxton, Woodchurch (Byerley fide Cameron). Bromborough 

 Wood, Marshy ground at Eastham (F. P. Marrat, ' Naturalist's 

 Scrap-book/ p. 55). Specimens, labelled i Cheshire,' in the 

 McAndrew Collection at Cambridge are probably from some 

 Wirral locality {cfi A. H. Cooke, ' J. of C.,' vol. iii, p. 389). 



Vertigo pygmaea (Drap.). Swampy ground near Oxton (Byerley 

 fide Cameron). Ashley Mill and Ashley Hall (Hardy). Meols. 

 Eastham (W.J.F.). 



Vertigo alpestris Alder. Two specimens at Meols, beneath 

 stones with P. muscorum in 1889 (R.S.). 



Vertigo substriata (Jeff.). Near Woodchurch (Byerley fid 

 Webster). Swampy parts of Bromborough Wood (T. S. Marratt, 

 * Naturalist's Scrap-book,' p. 55). Specimens, labelled 'Cheshire/ 

 in the McAndrew Collection, are probably from one of these 



localities (cfi A. H. Cooke, *J. of C., ? vol. iii, p. 389). Butts' 

 Clough, near Bovvdon — one in 1888 and one in 1893 {cf. Milne 



and Oldham). 



[Vertigo pusilla Mull. In the Report of the Manchester 

 Scientific Students' Association for 1864 (p. 15), Marple Wood 

 is given as a locality for this species, on the authority of Hardy ; 

 but, as the shell is not included in his list, and as it has never 

 been taken at Marple by any of the Manchester conchologists 

 who have collected there in recent years, there can be no doubt 

 that the record is an erroneous one]. 



Vertigo edentula (Drap.). The commonest species of the genus. 

 Blacon Point, Chester (Bellars). Between Upton and Saughall- 

 Massie (Byerley fide Webster). New Ferry (Byerley fid 

 Warrington). Eastham (F. P. Marrat, ' Naturalist's Scrap-book/ 

 p. 55); Butt's Clough near Bowdon (Milne and Oldham). 

 Very abundant in woods at Compstall, Romiley, and Marple. 

 I have also taken it at Wythenshawe near Northenden. 



Balea perversa (L.). Reported only from Chester and localities 



in Wirral. Water Tower, Chester (Bellars). On willows. 

 Claughton Park (F. P. Marrat, < Naturalist's Scrap-book, p. 55). 



Leasowe (WJ.P\). 

 Clausilia perversa (Pult). Rather uncommon except in Wirral. 

 /, Queen's Park and Water Tower, Chester (Bellars). Prenton 



April 1S96.
