THE YOUNG 



NATURiVLIST. 



and Grassington. It has also been reported from 

 Linton-in-'Wharfedale but it is very probable that 

 this means Linton, near Wetherby, where this species 

 is known on other evidence to occur. 



77. CocHLicopA lubhica.— Has bcch found singly at 

 AmoUffo and Kilnsey. 



' This completes the shell-list. A concho- 

 i legist, glancing over it, will at once see that 

 ; a number of species have yet to be found, 

 \ more particularly the small ones, many of 

 I which will turn up when properly searched 

 I for. It will also be seen that the varieties 

 i remain to be discovered. The water shells, 

 ; too, are entirely unrepresented. The district 

 ; being an elevated one, with rapid streams, 

 ; and an absence of pools and ditches or 

 ' other collections of standing water, Icannot 

 be expected to produce more than a very 

 few of the aquatic species ; but there can be 

 but little doubt that, when looked for, such 

 species as Neritina fiuviat'dis, Aiwylus Jluvi- 

 at His, and Limncsa peregra will almost 

 certainly be found. Altogether it may be 

 anticipated that when a good conchologist 

 has had an opportunity of thoroughly ex- 

 amining the district, the list given above 

 will be very much extended. 



Butterflies and Moths. 

 The entomology of the district is one of 

 its least-known quantities, but yet there can 

 be little doubt that the Dale, and Grass- 

 Wood especially, is very rich and will 

 produce when worked, some very interesting 

 species of Lepidoptera. The list of what is 

 already known only includes some twenty- 

 two names out of the three or four hundred 

 which may be expected to fall to the pro sess 

 of a good collector stationed for a season or 

 two.
