COCKERELL AND COLLINGE : CHECK-LIST OF SLUGS. 49 



Concerning Leonardia, I regret to say I possess no infor- 

 mation beyond that published in y. de Conch., 1890, p. 82. 

 Might it possibly be the same as Alopos} 

 VaginultncB. So named because Binney used the name 

 Vaginulus for the group, but perhaps Rathouisiincz 

 {RaihonisiidcB, Heude) would be a preferable subfamily 

 name. 



I should have been disposed to consider Atopos 

 a synonym of Rathouisia, but Dr. Simroth, who is best 

 qualified to judge, does not unite them. 

 601. Atopos pulverulenlus apparently includes a specimen in the 

 British Museum from Pinang (Theobald), marked 

 " V. sanguinea, Stol." It has the body beautifully marbled 

 with black and grey, the sole pale orange tinted. Length 

 about 54 mm. Bluntly keeled. 



604. P. hey tie man It i. Simroth founds this name on Heynemann's 



account of the Huon Gulf specimen in the British Museum. 

 I made a description of this same specimen as follows : — 

 Length, 36 mm. ; breadth, 8 mm. ; breadth of sole, 4^ mm. ; 

 distance of margin to keel, 6 mm. Strongly keeled 

 dorsally ; a deep groove between sole and mantle, mantle 

 thickly and finely papillate, occasional papillae black, thus 

 producing sparse black points. General colour ochreous, 

 clouded with grey. A doubtful orifice on right side of sole 

 about 4^ mm. from head. No slit or orifice in mantle 

 above; mantle projects over head anteriorly; body tapers 

 posteriorly. Hab. — Huon Gulf (Dr. Comrie). 



It is much to be regretted that Dr. Heynemann, in his 

 paper on the slugs in the British Museum, did not think it 

 necessary to cite the names of the collectors, or the persons 

 from whom the slugs were obtained. Dr. Comrie's name 

 is now first mentioned, I believe, in connection with the 

 above slug; Veronicellajusca and V.flavai^oxn^o specimen), 

 described without any mention of their collectors, were 

 obtained by the Museum from Dr. Cunningham and 

 E. Gerrard, jun., respectively. The V. taunaysi in the 

 British Museum, it may be mentioned, is also from Dr. 

 Cunningham. 



605. P. australe. I believe this is a Prisma, not an Atopos, but 



have no exact information. 

 JaueUid(B. Mr. Hedley has lately sent me a paper, "An 

 Enumeration of the Janellidce" which appeared in Trans. 

 N.Z. Inst., 1892. In this article he uses language "more
