INLAND j\rOLLUSCA OF SOMERSET. 139 



Geuus LiMAX. Linnfeus. 



L. cinereus, Müller. The striped and spotted varieties 

 common. AVe met with a variety in Cleeve Coombe 

 remai'kably distinct, and ayc believe liitlierto unrecorded. 

 It was alto_2;etlier pitchy black, without spot or marking of 

 any kind, and fully six inches long. The var. a of Baron 

 Ferussac, in the Histoire Naturelle des MoUusques Terrestres 

 et Fluviatiles, comes nearest to it. That variety is described 

 as " Ater, carinä alba." 



L. arborurrij Bouchard Chantereux. On trees and rocks 

 in Gobiin, Cleeve, and Brockley Coombes, and some of 

 the glens running up into the Mendips near Wells. 



L. agrestis^ Müller. Abundant every vvhere. 



L.ßavus, Linnajus. Bristol and Bath. — Capt. Brown. 



L. hrunneus, Draparnaud. Among heaps of stones by 

 the side of the lane which runs parallel with the cllff from 

 Walton to Portishead ; and among decaying Vegetation by 

 the side of a rhine in Portishead ^loor. A remarkable 

 peculiarity in this slug, noticed by Dr. Johnson but omitted 

 by Forbes and Hanley, at once distinguishes the species 

 from all the varieties of agrestis, as well as our other 

 British species, This peculiarity consists in the great 

 length of the neck, or space between the tentacles and the 

 anterior margin of the shield. Another good characteristlc 

 of this species is the unusually narrow foot. 



L. Soicerbii, Ferussac. At Clevedon in gardens, and 

 in the copse between Upper Clevedon and the beach. — 

 A. M. N. Clifton.— Mr. W. Webster. 



Fam. TESTACELLIDiE. 

 Genus Testacella. Cuvier. 

 T. Maugei, Ferussac. Forty-six years ago this most 

 interesting mollusk was found in what were then Messrs.
