 two inches.

In the same localities as the preceding, but by no means so plentiful. 

 It is of much smaller dimensions, and may be at once distinguished by its 

 deep black colour, and its mantle, placed not in front, but almost on the 

 centre of its back. 



3. Lvnax taiellus. Miill. Verm. Terr, et Fluv. Hist, ii., p. 11. 



I found several specimens of a slug in moist valleys south of the 

 Lebanon, which I can in no way distinguish from the European species.

This beautiful and most peculiar species was obtained by me on 

 papyrus-stems in the marshes of Huleh (waters of Merom), in the Upper 

 Jordan. In the rotundity of its form and the diaphanous redness of its 

 coloration, it is widely removed from any other of the group which I have 

 seen. The animal is very large for the shell.
