In order to work out such a deposit as that at Ferriters 

 Cove, much time would be required for sieving and washing 

 on the spot. The quantity of sand which one person can 

 carry for a few miles is limited, and thus the above list must 

 be regarded as anything but complete. To show how hard 

 it is to tell if blown sand contains any shells or not, I may 

 add that the list from Dingle Harbour w^as compiled after 

 washing sand which did not appear to contain any shells 

 but Cochlicopa. I am now aware that I must have over- 

 looked dozens of deposits in this and other districts merely 

 because the shells did not appear to be numerous and only 

 a few common species were to be seen on the exposed 

 surface. In future I hope to be more careful, and here 

 desire to pass on the warning to others.

MYXOMYCETES FROM THE DINGLE PROMONTORY. 



BY MARGARITA D. STELFOX, B.SC, A. R. CSC. I. 



During a visit to the Dingle promontory, Co. Kerry, in 

 September, 1914, I collected some specimens of Myxo- 

 mycetes, or Mycetozoa, and forwarded them to Miss G. 

 Lister, F.L.S., who when returning them to me suggested 

 that the list should be published in the hope that it might 

 stimulate others to search. In her report of the Clare 

 Island Survey^ on the Mycetozoa, Miss Lister mentions 

 that Mr. F. W. Evans made a collection of ten species during 

 short holidays in the neighbourhood of Killarney and
