year. As regards the land-snails, Baden is inhabited by 92 species, 
Prussia by 52 only; the Cyclostomacea {Cyclostoma elegans and 
Pomatias maculatus) are found in Baden, but not in Prussia. 
With regard to the freshwater shells, the province of Prussia 
probably possesses some interesting species more than Baden, as 
Amphipepleaj Paludina fasciata, Bythinia leachii. 
[These differences are evidently the same which may be ob- 
served everywhere between mountainous inland countries and 
large plains near the sea.]

A list of fifty-four land- and thirty-six freshwater shells, the 
most remarkable being Helios umbrosa^ H. strigella on chalky 
soil, H. biclens and Clausilia filograna on the ground, between 
roots of GraminecC, never ascending the trunks of trees.

The author, well known to malacologists by careful descrip- 
tions of various Limacidce, has collected eighty species at the 
two watering-places mentioned ; fourteen others are included in 
a list published in 1862. The species found are generally com- 
mon throughout the middle and southern parts of Germany. 
Six species of Clausilia are named. One of the rarer species is 
Zonites [Hyalinal glaber (Stud.), found at Liebenstein, near 
Franzensbad, by the author. The Recorder observed the same 
shell some ten years ago on basaltic rocks at Aussig, not far 
from Teplitz in Northern Bohemia. 
It is strange that Helix austriaca is not mentioned in this list, 
as this species is common in Austria proper, Moravia, Upper 
Silesia, Saxony, and Bavaria on the borders of Bohemia — that is, 
in all the countries round Bohemia ; it was found some years 
ago near Prag, by Dr. Rud. Gmelin.

Sixty- five land- shells and twenty freshwater species are enu- 
merated, the most remarkable being Helix margaritacea (Ad. 
Schmidt), H. austriaca^ Paludina \Hiydrobia?\ viridis (Drap. ?), 
austriaca (Frauenf.), (Ziegl.), (Hauf.), and Pi- 
sidium planum (Pfr.).
