The Naturalist, 



Soderic, Isle of Man, but chiefly dead shells. This however, is not a 

 new locality, as the late Prof. Edward Forbes, in his " Malacologia 

 Monensis," page 34, mentions T. testudinalis as occurring on the under 

 surface of stones at very low water, Ballaugh." The Manx shells I 

 obtained are smaller, and not so prettily marked as the Yorkshire speci- 

 mens. Much has been written about the migratory habits of this species, 

 and it would be interesting to learn whether it may not be found much 

 further south than the localities hitherto recorded. — Geo. H. Parke, 

 Furness Abbey, February 1st, 1884.
