I have not seen this Limax ; but, judging from d'Orbigny's 

 diagnosis, its almost uncarinated body would perhaps tend to 

 place it near to the L. agrestis, L. It appears to have been 

 taken by MM. Webb and Berthelot in Grand Canary and 

 Teneriffe ; and d'Orbigny's diagnosis of it is as follows : — ' Cor-

 Berthelot in damp places near Sta. Cruz in Teneriffe. It was 

 met with by myself in the upper part of the region of El Monte 

 in Grand Canary, close to the village of San Mateo ; but, sin- 

 gularly enough, my examples were in a dried state, — picked 

 from off a white-washed wall, where the lime would appear to
