26 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
L. arborum. The Tree Slug —Common in the woods. It 
prefers old trees, feeding on the decayed wood and not touching 
the leaves. 
L. maximus. The Great Slug.—This is not so common as 
the two last-named species. 
Fam. HELIcID=. 
Succinea elegans. The Slender Amber Snail. — Abundant 
beside every stream. I have not yet found any other species of 
Succinea here. 
 Vitrina pellucida. The Transparent Glass Shell.—Everywhere 
distributed under wet leaves in hedgerows and in woods. 
Zonites cellarius. The Cellar Snail.—Common, in cellars and 
drains, and under loose bricks and large stones. 
Z. nitidulus. The Shining Snail.—Moyview woods, Sligo. 
Z. purus. The Clear-shelled Snail.—Sparingly under moss. 
Z. nitidus. The Glossy Snail.—I met with a few specimens 
in a marsh on the glebe lands of Killanley, Sligo. 
Z. crystallinus. The Crystalline Snail. Common. 
Z. fulvus. The Tawny Snail. In marshy land at Moyview 
and Killanley. 
Helix aculeata. The Prickly Snail. Rare in this district. 
I have only found it in one spot, namely, in one of the Moyview 
woods amongst mossy stones. 
H. aspersa. The Common Garden Snail.—Abundant. I have 
found a pale yellow and white variety on the ruined walls of Moyne 
Abbey, near Killala, Mayo. 
H. nemoralis. 'The Wood Snail.—Generally distributed, and 
exceedingly numerous on the sand-hills of Bartragh Island, 
Killala Bay, where the var. hortensis is also common, and their 
colours are more bright and varied than I haye seen in any other 
locality. 
H. rufescens. The Rufescent Snail.—Most abundant. 
H. hispida. The Bristly Snail.— Common. 
H. sericea. The Silky Snail.—I have obtained this species in 
one locality only. It is abundant in a small field of moist meadow 
land on Killanley Glebe. I think it must be rare in Ireland, for 
Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys has not mentioned an Irish locality for it in 
his valuable work on British Conchology. 
H. caperata. ‘The Wrinkled Snail.— Rather common.
