Common under dead leaves in woods. There seems still to be a 

 doubt as to the identity of this species with the European 

 H. pygmcea, Drap. My Vancouver Island specimens do not 

 appear to me to agree well with those I have collected in 

 England.

Limax Columbianus, Gould, in Terr. Moll., II, 43, pi. Ixvi, fig. 1. 

 (1851). 



Pacific Coast, British Columbia, to California. Common, growing 

 to a very large size. Ai'ound Yictoria the specimens are 

 generally spotted and blotched with black, but at Comox the 

 unicolorous variety is more common. The eggs of this species, 

 which are as large as good sized ])eas, are often found under 

 logs or bark during the winter.

N. Y., X, 293, pi. xiii, fig. 8. (1873) 



The commonest slug in Vancouver Island and recognized at once 

 by the two blackish lines that border the mantle. It may be 

 found under logs and stones and among leaves all over the 

 island. It also occurs in Oregon and California.
