ADDENDA Since the foregoing was written and set up in type some important additions have been made to the fauna of the county. Arion intermedium, Norm., has been found near Land's End ; Vallonia costata, Mttll., now known to be distinct from V. pukhella, Mttll., has been taken at Xruro ; Pisidium mi/ium y Held. [i.e. P. gassiesianum, Dupuy] has been met with near Penzance ; and P. obtusale, Pfr., recorded from the Swan Pool, Falmouth ; whilst from the top soil near Newquay a single specimen of Clausilia laminata (Mont.) has been obtained. On St. Michael's Mount a shell of Testa- cello maugei, Fr., was picked up. This is not a likely place for it to have been intro- duced, and in view of the fact that it has lately been found in a holocene rain-wash at Porlock Weir, near Minehead, in a spot too remote from habitation to permit of its pre- sence being accounted for by introduction, this species must now be held to be indigenous to the British Isles. 162
