V. “British Conchology by J. Gwyn Jeffreys, F.K.S., l 86 *- 9 , 
This work contains, besides repetitions of many of Thompson s, Diet ^ s and 
Hyndman’s records, some notes of species obtained by the author, and ako by 
Mr. WaUer and Mr. Adair, on the North of Ireland coasts ; those notes will 
found under the respective species. 
There are earlier works which contain references to Nort ° re J n 
Mollusm but aU reliable records of any importance are to be found repeate 
cited above. During the long period that has elapsed since th e pnbb 
cation of even the latest of these, though a good deal of tod « m ^ i 6e ” arine 
by local scientists, very little has been added to the ^wledge of o« M^e 
Shells, attention having been chiefly concentrated on ^e “terertmg ^ 
which the earlier Naturalists had left almost untouched Intod to only 
additional matter of which I have been able to avail myself s a "" 
“ couein in the 
Belfast Museum, has yielded some additional stations for species.
