A HISTORY OF DEVONSHIRE 



limited spots in such widely-separated localities as the Isle of Arran, west 

 Galway, Derby, Notts., Herts., Hants, and Dorset, as well as its recently 

 discovered habitat near Ilfracombe. 



Literature on the non-marine moUuscan fauna of Devon is not plen- 

 tiful. Only one memoir, which includes the marine species as well, deals 

 with the county as a whole, namely, that by Mr. E. Parfitt, in the 

 'Transactions of the Devonshire Association for 1874 (vol. vi. pp. 567—640). 

 The author appears, however, to have been unacquainted with an interest- 

 ing paper on the non-marine shells of the Plymouth district, by Mr. J. C. 

 Bellamy, in the Edinburgh Journal of Natural History for October, 1837 

 (vol. i. p. 115). A list of the species to be found in south Devon was 

 pubHshed by Mr. E. D. Marquand, in the Journal of Conchology for 

 October, 1889 (vol. vi. pp. 136—140). For the Ilfracombe district 

 there is an antiquated list in a local Guide to Ilfracombe, which dates 

 back to 1845 ; and a list by Mr. J. Le B. Tomlin, supplemented recently 

 by a paper by Mr, H. Beeston and Mr. C. E. Wright, both which com- 

 munications appear in the Journal of Conchology (vol. v. 1887, pp. 181- 

 183 ; and vol. xi. 1904, pp. 72-82). 



Most of the remaining records are scattered references of isolated 

 occurrences. From these and the Census of the Conchological Society 

 the following list has been compiled. 



For the sake of uniformity the same names are employed as in pre- 

 viously published volumes of this series of County Histories, but for a 

 later and more correct nomenclature recourse should be had to the List 

 of British Non-marine Mollusca published by the Conchological Society.
