I. INTRODUCTION. 



The coUectiou of slugs made by Dr Willcy, although not a large cue, is of 



exceptional interest in that it includes a series from a region which as yet has onh- 

 been very imperfectly worked. 



The specimens which are here described belong to two families, — Veronicellidae 



and Jauellidae — and include six species of which two are new, and two varieties, both 

 of which are new.
