NOTES. 



Distribution of Testacella maugei. 



In view of Mr. Webb's studies on the distribution of the British species 

 of Testacella, the following records for T. maugei may be of interest : — 

 Somerset. Castle Cary (E. W. S wanton). 

 Cornwall. Phillack Rectory, Hayle (J. G. C. T.) 

 Warwick. Gardens near Birmingham (W. E. C.) 



Worcester. Nursery gardens near Worcester (W. E. C.) 

 Cheshire. Gardens at Bowdon (W. E. C.) 



The last three records are all of recent introduction. — W.E.C, 



Notes on some Slugs from the Hebrides. 



I have recently received from Mr. J. Steele Elliott, some slugs from St. 

 Kilda, and also some from Mr. G. E. Allen, B.Sc, from Sanday, Orkney. As 

 there are few records for these islands, it is desirable, I think, to record these 

 specimens. 



Mr. Elliott sent me four specimens oi Arion empiricoriim, Fer., and seven 

 specimens of AgyioUmax agrestis, L. Of the former, two are young. One 01 

 the adults is of the usual deep jet-black, with the foot-fringe and lineoles of the 

 same colour and the foot-sole sepia-coloured ; the other specimen is black on the 

 dorsum, becoming plunbeous towards the foot-fringe. The head is lighter 

 and somewhat mottled. Foot-fringe a yellowish-sepia with black lineoles. 

 Foot-sole yellowish-sepia. 



Mr. Allen collected seven specimens of Arion, four from West Brough, 

 Sanday; four are A. empiricoriim, Fer; the remaining three from Castle 

 Green, Sanday, are very fine examples of the variety johnstoni, Kal., of 

 A. empiricoriim. — Walter E. Collinge, F.Z.S., Mason University College,

Note on two species of Veronicella from Chili. 



I have recently received from the Rev. H. M. Gwatkin, M.A., of 

 Cambridge, four specimens of Veronicella from Chili. From an external 

 examination of the same, I am of opinion that three are V. nigra, Heyn., 1885, 

 originally described from specimens in the British Museum, and one V. fiisca, 

 Heyn., also described from a specimen in the British Museum. — W. E. C.
