TEBENNOPHORUS. 457 



imagination of Rafincsque, the same " habitat " where flourished 

 Tremesia and Deroccras* 



Ferussac repeats (1823) the description of Rafinesque, hut never 

 had seen an individual of the genus. He suggests that Limax Car- 

 oli/iiensis, Bosc, may belong to it, judging from the figure alone. 

 Gray, H. and A. Adams, and Morch adopt the name of PhUoiuijcus, 

 on the supposition that Rafinesque had before him a Tebcnnophorus 

 when describing Philomycus (in 1820). It may be he had, but as 

 he did not make it so appear I have preferred adopting the first 

 name evidently applying to it. 



Tebennophorus Carolinensis. 



Body elongated, sub-cylindrical, posterior extremity obtuse; mantle fleshy, 

 covering the whole body ; foot extending a little beyond the mantle posteriorly.

 tremity, anastomosing more or less with each other, and having
