24 COCKERELL AND COLLINGE : CHECK-LIST OF SLUdS. 



, i. ^ 



44b. Var. vnibrosus, Phil. This name may be taken to represent 

 a sliglit mutation like maadatus, Kal., but with the dark 

 colouring more brown. 

 44 q. Var. lineolatus. Mr. CoUinge must forgive me for saying that 

 I am still quite puzzled about this form, owing to the 

 yellowish tentacles. Will not its author give some further 

 details about it ?* 

 44 r. caiiarietisis. This probably does not differ from the type. 

 L. canariensis of Mr. E. A. Smith (P. Z. S,, 1849, pp. 276-78) 

 is another thing altogether, being Agrioliinax agrestis, v. 

 sylvaticus, Moq., as I have satisfied myself by an examina- 

 tion of the original specimens. Dr. Simroth in his 

 beautiful work on the slugs of Portugal and the Azores, has 

 drawn some erroneous conclusions from the misidentifica- 

 tion of canariensis. 



44. L. ehretibergi. Heynemann states that this is flavns. It was 

 supposed to have no shell. 



44. L. inegalodontes^ Q. and G. Found near Port Jackson, 

 Australia. The Australian malacologists seem agreed that 

 this \%flavns. 



57. Heynemann remarks oi phxniciaais that Bottger thought it 

 was Agrioliinax agrestis, but from the figure it might be 

 variegatiis (fiaviis). 



59. L. lineolatus. The description reads like the young of a dark 

 form o{ flavus. 



65. L. cohanensis. Probably an Agrioliniax. 



68. L. latiis. Fossil in the I. of \V^ight. L. modioliformis is also 

 English. 

 71-77. Eumilax, having priority over Paralimax, must be used for 



the genus. 

 Ainalia. — Aspidoporus is older than Anialia, and Clytropelta than 

 Lalleinantia ; yet it would seem absurd to adopt these 

 names, both founded on fictitious characters. 

 78 b. typica, Poll. This is in the British Museum from Bath. It 

 is like hewstoni. 



79. A. plunibea may appear either as a variety or sub-species, 

 according to the locality ; that is to say, in England it 

 represents a geographical race or subspecies, but plumbeous 

 specimens may occur where the type prevails, just as black 



•It seems foolish to puzzle one's self over such .1 very minor colour variation as yellow 

 tentacles. I have no further details to add to my original description. As its name indicates, it 

 had a line on the sides of its body, and as such a form was not known, I thought it of sufficient 

 importance to name. — W.E.C.
