APPENDIX—MILAX GAGATES, 281 
A. levis campestris var. occidentalis Cooper. 
NEARCTIC REGION. 
California—Near the summit of Tehachipi Pass at an altitude of 4,000 feet, May 
1885 (J. G. Cooper, Cal. Acad. Sci., 1885, p. 252). : 
Mr. G. H. Clapp reports the gradual diminution in abundance of Agriolimax 
levis campestris about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Cazenovia, New York, this 
decrease in numbers being apparently correlated with and perhaps due to the 
increasing abundance of the imported A. agrestis, which is now in many places 
quite the commonest slug of the country, and although in Europe the two species 
usually occupy different stations, and do not pointedly conflict, yet this distinetion 
may not apply so forcibly in the New World.

NEARCTIC REGION. 
Pennsylvania—This species, though first observed in the Phipps’ Conservatory, 
Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, has now obtained a firm foothold beyond the buildings 
and is beginning to disperse outside (G. H. Clapp, Oct. 1906). 
California—Milax hewstoni is undoubtedly increasing in and about gardens, to 
which situations it is strictly limited, and where it is often very destructive. In 
1879 it was discovered by Dr. Anderson at Santa Cruz, though unknown there in 
1865. It is still unsettled whether Limax sandwichensis is identical (Cooper, Cal. 
Acad. Sei., 1885, p. 250).
