IIYALIMAX. 501 



"In the form of the buccal mass, the broad radula and its 

 numerous teeth, andamanica resembles in a remarkable manner 

 the curiously formed New Zealand slug Janella antipodarum, Gray, 

 described and figured by Mr. C. Knight in the ' Transactions of 

 the Linnean Society,' vol. xxii, read June 2, 1859; and they all 

 must be regarded, with Succinea and others, as one great group, 

 indicated so well and on such good grounds by Mr. P. Fischer." 

 ( Godwin- Austen.} 



Prof. Cockerell refers to a specimen in the British Museum, 

 labelled " Andaman Islands, Dr. J. Anderson," as being typical, 

 but having the mouth strongly curved, colour yellowish-white, 

 without markings, and the foot slightly orange-tinted. 



Var. punctulata, Cockerell. 



Hyalimax andamanica, var. punctulatus, Cockerell, A. M. N. H. 

 'ser. 6, vi, 1890, p. 389 ; ibid., The Conchologist, ii, 1893, p. 195. 



" Yellowish white ; foot slightly orange-tinted. Minute grey 

 specks on mantle and grey streaks on hind part of body." 

 (Cockerell.) 



Nab. Andaman Islands (Anderson). 



"The mantle of this specimen is flattish, so that the outline of 

 the slug is greatly depressed compared with the typical one. The 

 jaw does not seem quite like that figured by Godwin-Austen for 

 the type ; but I was notable to sufficiently examine it. It seemed 

 to me that it had some sort of central projection. It is possible 

 that punctulatus may be a distinct species ; but there is not yet 

 sufficient evidence for classing it as such." (Cockerell.} 



Nevill refers to a new species of Hyalimav, found by de Eoep- 

 storff at the Anclamans *, but he does not describe it, and it is 

 not, therefore, at all impossible that his slug was the same as the 

 present, species.
