their habits; both inhabit damp places under logs, or 
beneath loose bark, and decaying wood, or stones; often 
among grass, and frequently in cellars and out-houses. 
But they do not hibernate; cold renders them torpid, 
but a little temporary warmth reanimates them; hence 
those infesting cellars, and green-houses, continue their 
depredations during the winter season. Slugs appear 
to be omnivorous, and may be found feeding, indiscrim- 
inately, on animal or vegetable substances. In gardens 
and orchards they are more herbivorous, often injuring 
tender plants and fruit.
