walls round Oxford. Specimens occur among the Weston-on-the- 

 Green shells. Banbury, Stretch. 



Zonites pygmaeus. There is an old ivy-covered wall surrounding 

 the grounds of a house at Woodeaton, of which, however, I neither 

 know the name nor the owner ; among the decaying leaves in the 

 interstices between the stones of this wall Z. pygmasus may sparingly 

 be found, together with many other good shells. Mr. Strickland 

 records it as found at Henley among " roots of grass and wet leaves." 

 Banbury, Stretch. 



Pupa umbilicata. Woodeaton. " Common on old walls, perhaps 

 most abundant where Sedum acre grows. In profusion on an old wall 

 at Ferry Hincksey," Whiteaves. Banbury, Stretch. 



Vertigo edentula. This has been taken by Mr. Whiteaves and my- 

 self at the outskirts of Stow Wood. From the proportionate number 

 of specimens of this species which occur among the Weston-on-the- 

 Green shells, it would seem to be not uncommon in that neighbour- 

 hood. " Under stones, Henley Park," Strickland. 



j, palustris. I am glad to be able to add this species to the 

 Oxfordshire list, having found it among the shells collected at Weston- 

 on-the- Green by Mr. Matthews. 



„ pusilla. Abundant among the decaying leaves on the old 

 ivy-covered wall at Woodeaton. Banbury, Stretch. 



Balaea perversa. "Thames rejectamenta," Strickland. "Found 

 under the bark of old pollard willows, generally huddled together in a 

 mass. It is also sometimes taken on old walls," Whiteaves. "Sib- 

 ford and Astrup," Stretch. 



Clausilia dubia. " I have met with two or three specimens of this 

 shell on the road between Elsfield and Stow Wood," Whiteaves. 



Azeca tridens. " Roots of dog's mercury, Pinning Bottom in 

 Fawley Wood," Strickland. " I have taken one dead specimen of this 

 shell at Headington Quarry," Whiteaves. 



Acme fusca. "I have taken one living example of this rare shell in 

 a mossy bank near Stow Wood, but have repeatedly failed to meet 

 with more specimens," Whiteaves. " In moss, at Pinning Hill, Fawley 

 Woods ; very rare," Strickland. 



Limnseus glaber. " Very rare ; I took two specimens from a trench 

 near Kennington, in which there were no plants growing, but which 

 was full of the decaying leaves of the elm. This trench has since 

 been cleaned out, and the species is apparently lost," Whiteaves. 



Amphipeplea glutinosa. " Mr. Miller * * abundant near Oxford 

 * * ditches : " among my manuscript notes I find these words, copied
