Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell's Notes on Slugs. 339 



There appears to be some confusion about the species 

 formerly called Limax sandwichiensis , and Heynemann (' Die 

 nackt. Landpulm. des Erdbodens,' p. 70) records an Agrio- 

 limax sandwichiensis (Souleyet) from the Sandwich Islands, 

 said to be almost identical with A. Icevis, but makes no men- 

 tion of the Amalia. 



iii. New Caledonia. 



Amalia mouensis (Gassies) . 



Limax mouensis, Gass. Act. Soc. Linn. Bordeaux, xxviii. (1871). 



This supposed species was described from the shell only, 

 which appears from the description to be that of an Amalia. 



g. New Zealand. 

 A malia fuliginosa (Gould) . 



Length (in alcohol) 22 millim. ; sole broadish, very dark 

 brown or blackish, marked as in gagates, but median area 

 about twice as wide as either lateral area. Mantle oval, 

 rugose, black, with the usual sulcus. Body black, but sides 

 below mantle brownish. Reticulations apparently as in A. 

 gagates. Keel distinct. The brown parts incline to a sort of 

 olivaceous tint. 



Another example is browner and has the median area of 

 sole grey and lateral areas brownish. One large one contains 

 dull yellow globular eggs, which have diam. 2f millim. 



Described from specimens in the British Museum from New 

 Zealand (Mr. Macgillivray). 



I have no doubt that this is a good species, although closely 

 allied to A. gagates. It is certainly the Limax fuliginosus of 

 Gould, a species which I am glad to have the opportunity of 

 redescribing, as it has not been recognized by recent authors. 

 It is smoother than A. antipodarum, and differs from it in 

 various ways. 



Amalia antipodarum (Gray). 



Milax antipodarum, Gray, Cat. Pulm. 1855. 



Length (in alcohol) 16 millim., mantle 6 millim. long. 

 Sole and ground-colour a sort of coffee-brown ; back, mantle, 

 and neck above becoming black. Mantle truncate behind ; 

 sulcus well marked ; respiratory orifice rather posterior. 

 Keel strong. Rugae as in A. gagates , back rugose and 

 opaque. Sole rather lively brown, the median area hardly
