Hawker and given in the last Number of the * Annals' (p. 212), are so remarkable, that I was glad to see one which I could confirm from personal observation ; viz. the station for Clausilia Bolphii {plicatulay Drap.) in Ashford Woods, where T met with it fifteen years ago, when collecting with Mr. Wm. Harris, F.G.S., of Charing.— S. P.Woodward, HELIX ASPERSA. A curious specimen of the common Garden Snail has been sent me by Miss A. Hodgson of Ulverstone. It is an adult shell with a second, half-grown individual, fixed to its spire and partly imbedded in the suture of the body-whorl.
