NAIAS FLEXILIS, ROST. & SCHMIDT ; 
A NEW RECORD FOR ENGLAND. 
ARTHUR BENNETT, 
Croydon. 
In July Mr. W. H. Pearsall of Dalton-in-Furness sent me 
specimens of the above species which is a new record for 
England ; though Scotland and Ireland are well-known to 
produce it. He found it in Estwaite Water near Hawkshead, 
and associated with or near it were Callitriche autumnalis L. 
and Potamogeton pusillus L. In the same water he gathered 
Elodea, Potamogeton perfoliatus, P. crispus, P. alpinus and P. 
obtusifolius. The plant was coming into fruit, though these 
were young. Mr. Pearsall has made a suggestion which seems 
worthy of acceptation, i.e., that Lake Lancashire should be 
in records named as 69b, Westmorland as 69a. The county is 
so adapted for a Flora by itself, and as we are led to expect a 
Flora for the whole county of Lancashire, it seems it is worth 
consideration as a means of defining the records.

ADDITIONS TO THE FAUNA OF THE UPPER 
CHALK, FLAMBOROUGH. 
GEORGE SHEPPA RD, F.G.S. 
During a recent series of visits to the coast section between 
the South Sea Landing and High Stacks (zone of Micraster 
cor-angiiinum ) I collected a number of smaller fossil types 
principally from the weathered surfaces and ledges of the chalk. 
Owing to the exceptional hardness of the chalk at this 
horizon, the fossils weather out in a conspicuous manner, and 
are usually in a fair state of preservation. 
It is interesting to note that, according to the authorities 
at the British Museum, four of tne specimens are new records 
for the Yorkshire Chalk, namely : 
Pycinaster angustatns (?) Forbes. 
Spondylus spinosus. 
Enchodus (Tooth). 
Pholadomya sp. 
Along with other specimens from the same horizon, the 
above have been placed in the geological department of the 
Hull Museum.

In The Zoologist for August Prof. Mackintosh gives some general 
remarks on some points in the life-history of the salmon ; and there is also 
Professor W. Bateman’s address delivered before the British Association 
Meeting in Australia.
