COCKERELL : A I-EW NOTES ON SLUGS. 



VERONICELLA. 



(8.) Veronicella from Dominica. Length (in alch.) 17^ 

 mm., breatli 7^, sole breath 3 mm. ; female orifice, 

 10 mm. from head, its inner edge almost overlapped by 

 sole. The end of sole rounded, not projecting beyond body. 

 Posterior orifice large, crescentic. Jaw dark, with about 

 20 ribs. Sole finely transversely striate, mantle punctate. 

 Colour sub-olivaceous black, head and sole brown ; a few 

 light spots indicate the place of the dorsal line. Very 

 similar to V. langsdovfi, but I expect it will prove to be a 

 new species. The specimen described is in the British 

 Museum. 



(g.) Veronicella from Trinidad. Length about 27 mm., above, 

 dark blackish-grey, faintly mottled with lighter colour, 

 the mottling hardly \ isible without a lens ; beneath, 

 unicolorous, orchreous. Filiform glands short, and less 

 than ten, so it can hardly be V. caerulescens. Female 

 orifice moderately distant from sole. Caparo, Trinidad 

 (Mr. Urich). • I think that it is very likely a new species. 



AMALIA. 



(10.) A. gagates subsp. mediterranea. Several specimens 

 in the British Museum, collected by Dr. Anderson, at 

 Hammam INIeskontina, Algeria, must apparently be 

 referred to this sub-species. They are not adult, but are 

 very black ; soles with the lateral areas pale, concolorous 

 with the median area. The last character differs from 

 strictly typical meditevvanea.
