(June)— Food-plant of Plusia interrogations (Heather), 

 by L. G. Esson. Is Bupithecia abietaria Goze identi- 

 cal with B. togata Hubn. ? by Richard South, indicates 

 the belief that neither moths nor larvae show characters to warrant 

 these being regarded as distinct species.

 and illustrates, with a wood-cut, a trap, the attraction to which is a 

 lamp. A list of species taken with the trap at Kintyre, in Argyle-

1888 (July)— On the Specific Distinctness and the Geo- 



graphical Distribution of Testacella scutulum, 



G. B. Sowerby, by John W. Taylor, upholds the view that 

 this is distinct from '1\ haliotidea, and refers to its occurrence 

 at Kirkcaldy.

 August 1st, 1888, on behalf of Mr. A. Somerville, Limncza pei'egra,

1889 (Jan.)— The La,nd and Freshwater Shells of the neigh- 



bourhood of North Berwick, by Rev. John M'Murtrie. 

 The names are authenticated by specimens in the Museum of the 

 Conchological Society in Leeds. The list will repay the perusal 

 of conchologists. The varieties have been carefully determined 



for the district. Colonising Land and Freshwater 

 Shells at Brora, Bast Sutherland, by W. Baillie, adds 



to a previous communication (Journ. of Conch., V. , p. 192^ on the 

 results of introducing mollusca of various species at Brora. Such 

 records as this deserve careful attention to prevent erroneous con- 

 clusions by future workers, if the latter are unaware of the origin 

 of such introduced forms as may prove able to hold their ground. 

 (April) — P. 86. Limax maximus var. Ferussaci from Cramond, near 

 Edinburgh, exhibited on behalf of Mr. T. Scott at a meeting of 

 the Conchological Society on Nov. 7th, 1S88.
