Mr. G-. Nevill, in the Mollusean portion of the ' Scientific Besults 

 of the Second Tarkand Mission,' under Anad. altivagus, I well 

 remember his showing me in Calcutta. They are certainly very 

 distinct from the Simla specimens I have seen, and much nearer 

 A. jerdoni in outward appearance. Heynemann's name .would 

 have well suited these gigantic Nepalese slugs ; but his description 

 certainly applies to a much smoother animal, so well shown in his 

 figure of a portion of the foot viewed from above (plate 1, fig. Ih), 

 and which I reproduce on plate vii, fig. 4. The Nepalese species 

 I propose to distinguish by the name insignis." (Godwin- Austen.) 

 It is rather unfortunate that Lieut.-Colonel Godwin- Austen, 

 when naming this species, did not give a full description.

Original description : " From the single spirit-specimen it 

 would appear to have been of a dark ochraceous brown, with some 

 dark grey rnottlings on the upper part of the foot. It may be 

 distinguished by the very different arrangement of the warty pro- 

 tuberances on the epidermis, these being well raised, isolated, and 

 elongately diamond-shaped. 



"Total length 44, Jength of mantle 16, breadth 11 mm." 

 ( Godwin-Austen.) 



Hob. India : Darjeeling, about 7000 ft. (Blanford). 



" There is no doubt of its distinctness from all other species I 

 have seen, but I defer figuring it until I receive a large collection 

 in spirit now on its way from Sikkim." (Godwin- Austen.)
