COLLINGE : SPECIES OF LIMAX FROM IRELAND. 



51 



A series of this species presented to the British Museum by 

 Mr. C. Hose contains three or four exapiples with the spire com- 

 plete. In this condition it has a very accuminate appearance, the 

 apex being minute and peUucid, if not coated with an earthy 

 deposit. 



The ahnost smooth whorls which are constricted below the 

 suture, the dark olive colour and smaller size, are features which 

 may separate this species from the preceding. 



6. Paludomus everetti, sp. nov. 



Testa g/oI>osa, turrita, crassa, epiderinide fusco- 



olivacea induta ; spha acuminata, ad apicem scBpe 



erosa ; anfradus drcitw 8, cotn>exi, superne infra 



suturam concave depressi vel constricti, in concavitate 



litieis spiralibiis iinpressis 2-3 striati, ultimus striis 



\paucis aliis distantibus area basi/ii distinctioribus 



I scidptus, antice paulo descendens ; apertura subovata, 



longit. totius \ paulo superans, intus coeruleo-a/bida ; 



peristoma contifiuum, subpatulum, in exemplis adultis 



aurantiaci/m, in junioribus pallidum, niargine dextro 



obsolete crenulato. Longit. 30 millini., diam. maj. 22, 



7nin. 17. Aperiu?-a cum perist, 17 longa, 12 lata. 



Hab. : Batang Lupar district, W. Sarawak, also Gomanton on 



the N.E. Coast at Sandakan Bay. 



This is a larger and more globose form tb.an P. isseli, and differs 

 also from that species in the whorls being concave below the suture, 

 in the spiral impressed lines and the more ovate or less acuminate 

 aperture. Its greatly superior size distinguishes it from /•". moreleti; 

 the want of colour-bands, and the absence of the " flattened semi- 

 circular space" behind "the columella," may separate it from 

 P. lacunoides, which it otherwise resembles in many respects. It 

 appears to exhibit more transverse sculpture, and the orange lip 

 may be characteristic, although I have not seen this peculiarity 

 in any of the specimens from Gomanton. 



NOTE ON A SPECIES OF LIMAX FROM IRELAND. 



By WALTER E. COLLINGE,

I HAVE recently received from Mr. Jas. N. Milne, Derry, a single 

 example of a large Limax which at present I am unable to determine. 

 I have, some short time ago, described a species of Arion^^ at present
