their habits; both inhabit damp places under logs, or 

 beneath loose bark, and decaying wood, or stones ; often 

 among grass, and frequently in cellars and out-houses. 

 But they do not hibernate ; cold renders them torpid, 

 but a little temporary warmth reanimates them ; hence 

 those infesting cellars, and green-houses, continue their 

 depredations during the winter season. Slugs appear 

 to be omnivorous, and may be found feeding, indiscrim- 

 inately, on animal or vegetable substances. In gardens 

 and orchards they are more herbivorous, often injuring 

 tender plants and fruit.
