RATE Y 
Arion subfuscus is, according to Pollonera, confined to the hilly regions of the 
north, and the records of this species for Central and Southern Italy are due to 
errors of determination. 
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

Aragon and Navarra by Fagot.

Moravia, Styria, Tyrol, and Transylvania. 
SCANDINAVIA. 
Norway—Found throughout Norway as far north as North Cape, 71° 8’ north 
latitude, and Stangenes at the mouth of the Tana in East Finmark. It is common 
on Tromsoen and Ando, and also about Trondjhem, Bergen, and Christiania. 
Sweden—This species is found almost throughout Sweden, and has been noted 
as far north as Ofver-Lulea in Norbotten ; it is also recorded from Jemtland ; about 
Stockholm in Svealand; in Gothland at Ronneby, Gothenburg, and Christianstadt ; 
near Frollinge in Halland, Balsberg in North Scania, and the Island of Bornholm. 
Denmark—Common in Zealand, and rare in Jutland. It is also reported from 
Iceland and the Faroes. 
RUSSTA. 
Found throughout European Russia, extending eastwardly to the Ural Moun- 
tains about the 65th parallel, and also over the Arctic and wooded northern districts, 
having been found by Wallenberg near the coast on the shores of the arctic sea in 
Russian Lapland, at 69° north latitude. It is plentiful about Reval in Esthland ; 
Dorpat in Livland; in Courland; in the Ukraine; about Moscow ; and in many 
localities about Warsaw in Poland. It is met with in the Aland Isles, also 
throughout Finland, the specimens inhabiting the tract adjoining the Gulf of Fin- 
land having been distinguished as var. fennica, but have been recorded by others 
from thence as Arion ater. 
Sub-var. fuscata, according to Kaleniezenko, inhabits shady woods about Nejin 
and Borozda, Tschernigov ; and moist woods about Izium, Kharkov. 
Siberia—Under the name of A. hortensis, Schrenk describes what is probably 
this species as generally distributed in Amurland; on the Lower Amur, it was 
found in damp deciduous woods near Teutscha, and at Dshare. It is also probable 
that the Arion collected by Dr. Theel in June and July, 1876, at Mikoulina on the 
Jenissei, are properly referable to Arion subfuscus.
