A specimen of this interesting species was brought us from the 

 above locality by Mr. Blacklock. It was of a pale, dull yellow, 

 very transparent and lubricous, with an obscure band on each 

 side of the shield and back ; the posterior part of the shield 

 rounded ; the tentacles black ; length rather more than an inch; 

 the mucus orange-coloured. In all these particulars it agrees 

 with the description of Limax tenelhis, given by Nilsson, in his
