Limax tenellus Miiller (em. Nilsson). 
‘he hope expressed that this species would probably be rediscovered in 
the British Isles when the attention of malacologists was directed to its 
habits and peculiarities, has been happily justified, as in August 1904, 
Mr. W. Denison Roebuck verified this long-lost species in a consignment 
of slugs sent by the Rev. R. Godfrey who, inspired by his experience in 
finding the species in Switzerland in a previous season, had searched for it 
in the forest of Rothiemurchus, and found it to be the commonest slug 
there, associated with Avion minimus, A. subfuscus, Limax arborum, and 
L. cinereo-niger, amougst decaying pine-needles. Attention being thus 
called to the habitat search was made in other districts, and the species 
has since been actually found in seven widely-separated counties. 
Food and Habits.—The activity and restlessness of this species has 
been verified in this country, as also its partiality for shade and conceal- 
ment, while according to the observations of Mr. Petch it also possesses, 
though in a more striking degree, the habit of Limax mavrimus of everting 
the fore-part of the mantle when irritated. 
The locomotory shine is colourless, while that of the body is yellow. 
‘The species is evidently widely distributed and common in Epping Forest, 
amongst Pollard Hornbeams and Beeches, frequenting in company with 
Arion intermedius the varied species of fungi, Lactarius blennius, L. 
vellereus, Collybia maculata, Russula fellea, R. vesca, and R. cyanovantha 
being noted as especially attractive. 
In Clackmannan, Mr. W. Evans found this species frequenting the fungus 
Russula emetica, but most frequently, however, hiding beneath fallen bark 
and chips of wood beneath the fir trees in company with Arion subfuscus 
and A. cntermedius. In captivity the animals feed on various kinds of 
holetus, Russula, and other woodland Agaries.
