“The adder is particularly abundant along the 
sandhills north of Barmouth, but out west the ring 
snake is comparatively rare. On the ‘mosses’ in the 
southern portion of Flintshire the adder is very 
numerous, and I saw many there this last summer 
(1900). One which I measured was 21 inches in 
length.’—H. E. Forrest, Shrewsbury.
