Dark grey or nearly black, without an internal shell. 



Middlesex and iSurroy. 



'I'liis is an extreme dark form, and, curiously enough, 

 though several specimens have been carefully dissected by 

 two or three concliologists, no shell has been found present. 

 Limax Elireiiheriji, Bourg., a form of L.favus^ is similarly 

 said to have no shell.

Mil<ix carinatus, Locard, Cat. Gen. Moll. France, 1882. 



The southern form of carinata^ known as carinata, llisso, 

 has been considered a distinct species from that of Leach by 

 Locard and others ; but it appears to be only a subspecies at 

 best. Kisso's name is later than Leach's, so it cannot be 

 used according to the law of priority. A. argillaceus^ Gass., 

 1856, has been quoted under carinata, Kisso, but it is really 

 a .synonym of carinatu^ Leach. 



A. iinn-r/i'nala, var. fulva, Paulucci, 1879, belongs to the 

 southern slug, being the young or a sligiit variety, and 1 have 

 adopted this as the earliest available name for the subspecies.
