List of Land Mollusca observed in the neighbourhood of Watford and 
St. Albans in the autumn of 1883. 
The following list is the result of occasional walks last autumn 
about "Watford and St. Albans. To prevent the frequent repetition 
of the names of these places and of the habitats of the various 
species, I here enumerate the localities mentioned and give some 
particulars of those which have yielded the greatest number of species. 
In the neighbourhood of Watford, Oxhey Lodge, Watford Heath, 
Bushey Lodge, Eushey Mill, Otterspool, and Munden Park are in 
the Colne river-basin. “Near Oxhey Lodge” refers to a small 
chalk-pit in a wood which I came across after walking through 
Oxhey Woods and finding only one species, LLelix rotundata , on 
the glacial gravel and London Clay on which these woods are 
situated. “ Near Eushey Lodge ” refers to a footpath leading from 
the St. Albans road (opposite Callow Land) to Bushey Lodge, by 
the side of which under the hedges are here and there heaps of 
flints which appear to have been taken off the fields, amongst 
which LLelix hispida and Clausilia rugosa abound. By “ Otterspool ” 
a disused chalk-pit in the wood nearly opposite the house is in¬ 
dicated. 
Cassiohury Park, Tunnel Woods, and Hunton Bridge are in the 
Gade river-basin. In Cassiohury Park the woods by the Swiss 
Cottage have been visited by permission of the Earl of Essex, and 
a dell which appears to he a disused chalk- and gravel-pit just over 
the canal-bridge in Bouse Earn Lane, and another above the Naviga¬ 
tion Bridge, have been searched; the greater number of species from 
these dells having been found amongst nettles and under stones, 
chiefly flints. By “near Hunton Bridge” a steep hedge-hank on 
the east side of the high road from Watford about half a mile from 
the village is indicated, and this is the only place where I have yet 
found LLelix ericetorum , though it occurs here in abundance. 
Most of the species from the neighbourhood of St. Albans were 
found one evening after rain in the woods and lanes about the 
Yerulam Hills. My only specimen of Cyclostoma elegans was 
found in Gorhambury Park in the course of this walk. The other 
locality mentioned, “near Park Street,” is a dell near the Biver 
Yer, just opposite the village, on the road to Hedges Earm. These 
localities are in the Yer river-basin. 
Specimens of various species have been found here and there on 
hedge-hanks, etc., in localities not specially mentioned, but they 
have mostly been of species too common for any hut a general 
indication of their presence in the neighbourhood to he given. 
With the exception of the species of the genera Arion , Amalia , 
and Limax , all the species enumerated have been kindly identified 
for me, or my identification has been verified, by Mr. J. W. Taylor, 
Editor of the ‘Journal of Conchology,’ who is collecting materials 
for an exhaustive Monograph of the British Land and Eresh-water 
Mollusca.
