Abstract
LAST year I started a breeding experiment with two pairs of sinistral Limnaea peregra given me by Mr. J. W. Taylor, of Leeds. The first two generations have not come out on any plain plan, and it is necessary to carry them further if the mode of inheritance of this very rare form of one of our commonest freshwater snails is to be worked out. But the young have now quite outgrown the possibilities of my establishment, and if anyone would take over some of them and breed them out (which is quite simple, as they want little attention) they would be doing me a service.
