to be a more opaque green than the common form, which is usually 

 very glossy, and reminded one more of the dull colour of Hy.pura. 

 This large form was taken very abundantly in company with 

 Hy. nitida and Succinea oblovga at Carrigrohane. 



Hy. fulva, Mull.— Well distributed, but only a few individuals found 

 in each locality — Ballyphehane, Glendine, Lough Allua, Carrigro- 

 hane, and Kinsale. 



Hy. excavata, Bean. — The type and var. vitrina of this local shell 

 were common in the damper parts of some of the old native woods 

 as at Glendine and the shore of Lough Allua. In the former locality 

 the var. vitrina only was noted, while at Lough Allua the type was 

 much the commoner form. 



Hy. nitida, Miill. — Very common at Carrigrohane (a large pale form), 

 and found in most marshy places visited — Glendine Castle, Lough 

 Allua, Ballinspittal, and Kinsale. 



Arion atcr, L — Many colour forms of this common slug were noted, 

 ranging from the almost albino var. succinea to the jet-black type. 

 The following varieties are recorded on Mr. Roebuck's authority : — 

 Var. succinea at Cork and Aghada, brunnea at Youghal, plumbea at 

 Glendine, and castanea at Farrangalway and Lough Allua. At 

 Farrangalway, near Kinsale, ten specimens were taken under one 

 stone by Mr. Roebuck, all of different shades of colour, and none 

 typical. Many specimens were taken which had fuscous bands on 

 their backs. Mr. Taylor considers this a survival of a primitive 

 characteristic. 



A. subfuscus, Drap. — Common throughout the district— Ballyphe- 

 hane, Youghal, The Gearagh, Blarney, Rostellan, Ballinspittal^ 

 Courtmacsherry (Hinch), Farrangalway, and Gouganebarra. Var. 

 fuliginosa, a Portuguese form, was taken at Lough Allua by Mr. 

 Roebuck. 



A. hortensis, Fer. — Not nearly so common as the last species, but 

 was noted in nearly all localities. 



A. circumscrlptus, Johust. — Somewhat local, but occurred at Glen- 

 dine, Carrigrohane, Blarney, Rostellan, and Ballinspittal. 



A. intermedius, Normand. — Did not appear common, except in the 

 old woods, but was observed at Glendine, The Gearagh, and Gou- 

 ganebarra. 



Umax maxlmus, L. — This variable species was noted on the fol- 

 lowing excursions : — Glendine, Ardsallagh, Rostellan, Kinsale, 

 Simon's Cove (Hinch), and Gouganebarra. Var. bifasciata at Glen- 

 dine, and var. cellarius at Kinsale. 



L. cinereo-niger, Wolf.— Mr. Roebuck took a fine example of this 

 species in the fir wood at Lough Allua. It was not a typical speci- 

 men, having four bands, and referable to var. vera — an extremely 

 rare form — this being the first Irish record. 



L. f lavus, L. — Apparently rather local, and was only seen at Glendine 

 Castle and under logs near Aghada.
