The usual vote of thanks terminated the proceedings, after which 

 most of the members, betook themselves to the station for their 

 respective destinations. A few remained, being desirous of learning 

 more particulars of Hatfield eccentricities, and were successful in 

 gaining much valuable information. On leaving the village some of 

 the natives gave three ringing cheers for the naturalists. This 

 terminated the last excursion for 1887, and it can truly be said that 

 the meeting was both a successful and an enjoyable one, and will long 

 be remembered. 



ANOTHER YORKSHIRE LOCAXITY FOR 

 VERTIGO ANGUSTIOR 



CHARLES ASHFORD, 

 Ckristc/uirch, Ha7its; one of the Referees to the Concholos^ical Society. 



Having occasion a few days ago to look through my series of V. 

 pusilla., taken by myself in Went Vale 185 1-4, I detected among 

 them a single example of V. angttstior, which v/as at once submitted 

 to Messrs. Taylor and Nelson. Its correct identification being 

 beyond dispute, there remains only the question of evidence as to 

 locality. These after-finds in the cabinet are rightly looked upon 

 with some suspicion, and I should not have ventured to claim a 

 formal record in this case had not the evidence in favour of Went 

 Vale been unusually strong. For it happens that the shell in question 

 is the only example of V. aitgiisiior, in a recent state, that has ever 

 come into my hands ; moreover, I have never taken K pusilla else- 

 where than in Went Vale nor received it from any correspondent at 

 home or abroad, and all my exam]:)les of that species have occupied 

 the same box for more than thirty years. These facts appear to me 

 to preclude the possibility of error by misplacement. The locality 

 recorded by Mr. Backhouse, viz., Milford, is about ten miles N.N.W 

 of Went Vale.
