CONCHOLOGICAL NOTE. 



MoUuSCa at Anston Stones. — In the valley itself Pupa umbilicata and 

 Clausilia rugosa abound; also Cochlicopa lubrica; many of the latter are of the 

 var. z'iridula, and are to be found upon the crags and large stones among damp 

 moss, &c., and in the same situation Z. glaber. 



I have also preserved specimens of V. antivertigo (found near the stream), 

 Z. nitidtUiis, Z. piu'tis, H. hispida^ H. rotinidata, and Pla7iorbis albus. I have no 

 doubt many other species are to be found in abundance. Only a short distance 

 from Anston I have found V. 77ii7intissi77ia plentifully, near to Kiveton Park Rail- 

 way Station (M. S. & L. Railway). On leaving the station in the direction of 

 Anston the road winds up a steep hill ; just at the brow of the hill there is an old 

 wall dividing the road from a small plantation, and among the grass at the root of 

 the wall I have found V. nii7mtissi77ia in considerable numbers ; also H. aciileata 

 along with them. I mention the particular spot, as I have not been able to meet 

 with the former in any other district in the neighbourhood. — Edgar Pickard, 

 Crow Hill, Mansfield, April i6th, 1885.
