MOLLUSCS these mussels are sometimes fine, and British pearls in ancient days en- joyed some celebrity ; they even had their attractions for Julius Caesar. Papers on the Cornish non-marine molluscan fauna as a whole are not abundant, and deal more with the western than the eastern portion of the duchy. The more important are a series by Mr. T. Cocks in the Annual Reports of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society (No. 17, 1849, p. 6 1 ; No. 24, 1856, p. 20 ; and No. 45, 1877, p. 124), and one by Mr. E. D. Marquand in the Transactions of the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society (new ser. 18834, i. 403). From these, the Records of the Conchological Society and various scattered sources, the accompanying list has been compiled. A, GASTROPODA I. PULMONATA a. STYLOMMATOPHORA Testacella maugei, Fer.
