Mr. Summers writes as follows: — "This is the place which I remember seeing 

 them when a youth at home 30 years ago in the nurseries of Messrs. Maule and Sons (they 

 are now dead, and with them the nurseries disappeared). My father was foreman with them 

 for upwards of 50 years, and is now (1895) nearly 80 years of age ; he writes to me that about 

 50 years ago a doctor in London advertised for some specimens of the worm-eating slug and 

 offered a guinea a dozen tor them. A friend of his (who is still alive and living near to him), 

 who was living in South Wales, where they wore plentiful, sent the doctor four dozen as a 

 sample, which rather surprised him, and he wanted to pay a less price, but the late Mr. 

 Maule interceded, and his friend was paid the money." 



Glamorganshire. Windsor Place, Cardiff, at the bottoms of carnation pots 

 (Arthur Pike). 



Dublin. Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin (F. W. Moore and Dr. Scharff). 



In conclusion, the writer must express his gratitude to the many

 later date.
