T. D. A. COCKERELL : A SEPTEMBER WALK. 



57 



minor, Alisma plantago, &c. Limax loevis was also common round 

 another pond a little further on. 



It was interesting to note how, as the localities changed the 

 plants in the hedges would disappear and give way to others, and 

 these in turn to others. Thus at one place the most conspicuous 

 plant in the hedge was Foxglove {Digitalis purpurea), and this in 

 turn gave way to Gnaphalium uliginosum, and then this disappeared, 

 and Campanula rotundifolia was the principal feature. There is a 

 large rookery two miles from Knutsford. Close to Knutsford I took 

 Serica brunnea. 



September 11th. Knutsford to Chelford. — 



Helix rotundata. Limncea peregra (on Lemna minor in 



Hyalina alliaria. a small pond). 



Helix aspersa (one only). Planorbis albus (on Veronica beccabunga 



Arion ater v. rufa. in a ditch).

Limax agrestis v. sylvatica. Pisidium pusilhtm. 



Found a specimen of Donacia dentipes Fab. on a Nuphar lutea 

 leaf, in a pond four miles from Knutsford. Near this pond I saw a 

 flock of Lapwings ( Vanellus cristatus). 



At Chelford I took a specimen of Hadena protea Bork. at rest on 

 an oak tree.
