LIT].—Remarks on Australian Slugs. 
By T. D. A. CocKkERELL, F.Z.S., Institute of Jamaica. 
As my own idea of ‘‘ courteous criticism” is very different 
from Mr. Hedley’s, I shall not attempt to reply to the 
opinions regarding my conduct expressed in this Magazine, 
pp. 169-171 (Feb. 1892). 
With regard to matters of fact it is not quite the same,

might pass as valid among those not specially acquainted 
with slug-literature. I will therefore discuss them one by 
one. 
(1). Limax megalodontes.—Any one may see by reference 
to my paper that I expressed much doubt as to its being an

having read scme observations by Mr. Musson, I expressed 
the opinion that it might be 4. flavus after all (Brit. Nat. 
189 p-l20)).

It was Mr. Hedley himself who named an Australian species 
Limax queenslandicus, and regarded it as distinct until 
Dr. Simroth said it was levis.
