"Long. 45 mill.; long, pallii 22 mill.; lat. 11 mill.; long, 

 noisei pedis 17 mill, (ex icone).'' (Mbrch.) 



Hab. Nicobar Islands : Pulo Panjang and Sambelong. 



The species is stated to have been collected on the under side 

 of the leaves of Calderon and other plants with thick leaves. 

 Mb'rch further mentions that the animal generally remains 

 stationary and contracted, assuming an oval form, and that the 

 muscular attachment of the jaw is narrower and more elongated 

 than in H. maillardi, Eischer. 



Lieut. -Col. Godwin - Austen considers it very similar to 

 II. andamanica, although larger, but until they can be compared 

 together in greater detail he thinks it best to keep them separate.

Original description : " Corpore expanse, pone acuminate, 

 flavo cinereo. Pallio magno, Isete colorato viridi-flavo limonis. 

 Tentaculis superioribus, longis, pallidis, oculos parvos nigros 

 gerentibus ; et linea pallide smaragdina ad basin notatis. Tenta- 

 culis inferioribus minutissimis." 



Hab. Burma : Pegu. 



"This elegant little Limax is very active, and creeps about 

 briskly on the green foliage of the salt swamps, which (i. e. the 

 leaves) it resembles in colour." (Theobald.) 



Lieut.-Col. Godwin-Austen thinks there can be but little doubt, 

 from the above description and the habitat, that the species must 

 find a place here ; he also considers it would be interesting to 

 learn how far it extends north, and whether Hyalimax occurs in 

 the Sunderbunds.
