ANADENUS. 475 



" From the size of the contracted animal, from the circumference 

 of the internal shell, and from the size of the teeth-plates it may 

 be assumed with some amount of certainty that this species is of 

 extraordinary length. Limax Dorice, Bourguignat, to which a 

 length of from 360 to 450 mm. is attributed by its author, has 

 scarcely so large an internal shell in the figure (Rev. Mag. pi. 8, 



Fig. 150. Anadenus giganteus. 

 (Shell. Copied from Land and Fresh w. Moll. India.) 



June 1861), although I do not suppose that this astounding length 

 could be attained by giganteus. It may be equally striking in the 

 living state from its bright colour, which doubtless does not differ 

 greatly from that of spirit-specimens.'"' (Heynemann.}

Originally Lieut.-Col. Grodwin-Austen considered the present 

 species identical with Theobald's altivagus, but, as recorded under 

 the latter, he subsequently modified his view and admitted 

 giganteus as a distinct form.
