have been in the Bog Meadows, now partially destroyed 
by drainage and building operations. Limnaea auri- 
cularia is not now known to live in any of the drains by 
the Lagan, near Belfast, but it does occur in the Gal- 
wolly Pond, Belvoir Park, which is close to the second 
lock of the canal, but on the Co. Down side of the river. 
Helix Glutinosa. Not now known to live nearer Belfast than 
the Lough Neagh basin. 
There are many strange absentees from the above list, 
such as the various species of Pisidium, Vertigo, Clausilia 
hidcntata, and the smaller Helices. I am inclined to regard 
this MS., therefore, as only showing us a part of Templeton's 
work in this branch of natural science.

ON REFERENCES BY W. E. LEACH TO IRISH 
LAND AND FRESH WATER SHELLS. 
BY A. W. STELFOX, M.R.I. A. 
In 1820, " A Synopsis of the Mollusca of Great Britain, 
by William Elford Leach, M.D., F.R.S., &c.," was in the 
press ; but owing to the ill health of the author the work 
was abandoned. In 1852, however, it was published 
in its original form under the editorship of Dr. J. E. Gray, 
of the British Museum. It contains several references to 
Irish Mollusca, two of which are of considerable interest. 
They are as follows : —

Poir.].i " Sparingly in the south of Ireland."

tris, Drap.]. " On the Reeks, near Killarney."

Ireland."
