Original description : " Corpore elongate, laevi, ante et pone

" This slug is pretty common at Rangoon and is found har- 

 bouring under potsherds, bricks, and rubbish in moist spots." 

 (Theobald.} 



Mr. Coliinge having obtained some spirit r specimens, found the 

 description of the foot sole very inadequate and redescribed it 

 as follows : 



"The specimens average from 28 to 38 mm. in length and 

 10 to 18 mm. in breadth. The ground-colour is yellowish brown, 

 minutely marked with a series of black dashes and spots, these 

 being absent in the median line of the dorsum, on which runs a 

 pale yellow line. Nevill states that the sole of the foot is nearly 

 white, with faint, transverse, white lines ; now in the specimen 



1 have, the foot is very similar to the ground-colour of the dorsal 

 surface and it is certainly not white or even pale yellow. The 

 foot sole may be divided into, seven distinct parts. On either 

 side is a plain lateral plane, finely and regularly marked, next a 

 distinct line separating the lateral plane from, what I shall term, 

 the inner plane, which is divided in a regular manner by a series 

 of transverse lines or grooves at intervals of about | inillim. 

 The two inner planes stand out more prominently than any other 

 portion of the foot, so that the median plane is somewhat con- 

 cave, but possibly this is only due to the effect of the alcohol. 

 The median plane is also marked by a series of fine transverse 

 lines, 



"In the largest specimen, measuring 38 mm. in length and 

 18 mm. in breadth, the lateral planes are 1 mm. broad, the inner 

 plane | mm., and the median plane 1 mm. 



" The median plane is really the outer wall of the pedal gland, 

 and passes from just beneath the mouth to the posterior end of 

 the body, gradually becoming narrower and terminating about 



2 mm. from the extreme edge of the foot sole."
