ANADENUS.

" From the size of the contructed animal, from the circumference 

 of the internal shell and from the size of the teeth-plates it may 

 be assumed with some amount of certainty that this species is of 

 extraordinary length. Limax Doria-, Bourguignat, to which a 

 length of from 360 to 450 mm. is attributed by its author, has 

 scarcelv so large an internal shell in the figure (Kev. Mag. pi. S, 



Fig. 150.^Anadcmis ffiganfetis. 

 (Shell. Copied from Land and Freshw. Moll. India.) 



June 1861), although I do not suppose that this astounding length 

 could be attained by qiganteus. It may be equally striking m the 

 living state from its briglit colour, which doubtless does not difter 

 greatly from that of spirit-specimens.'' (IJeynemann.^

Originally Lieut.-Col. Godwin-Austen considered the present 

 species identical ^^■ith Theobald's aUivcujus, but, as recorded under 

 the latter, he subsequently modified his view and admitted 

 gir/anteus as a distinct form.
