1865. ] AND FLUVIATILE MOLLUSCA OF PALESTINE. 531 
Society to such species as were collected by ourselves, simply append- 
ing a list of reputed species not found by us. 
1. Limax pHenicracus, Bourg. 
Very common in the maritime plains from Beyrout to Jaffa, and 
in the valleys which abut on them. Not observed in the interior. 
Easily distinguished from L. agrestis by its larger size and its crowded 
black spots. It is very slightly wrinkled, and reaches a length of 
upwards of 2 inches. 
2. Limax BERYTENSIS, Bourg. 
In the same localities as the preceding, but by no means so plen- 
tiful. It is of much smaller dimensions, and may be at once distin- 
guished by its deep black colour, and its mantle placed not in front, 
but almost on the centre of its back. 
3. Limax TENELLUS, Mill. 
I found several specimens of a slug in moist valleys south of the 
Lebanon, which I can in no way distinguish from the European 
species. 
. 
4, TESTACELLA sauccyl, Bourg. 
I dug up four fine specimens of this interesting species-in the Wady 
Kurn, near the plain of Acre. 
5. SucCINEA PFEIFFERI, Rossm. 
Among reeds near Beyrout. 
6. SuccINEA GLOBOSA, nN. sp. 
T. ovato-globosa, fragilis, tenuis, nitida, delicatissime striata, 
aurantiaco-rubra ; spira acuta, vix elongata ; anfrac. 34, con- 
vexi, ultimus subito accrescens, inflatus, basi expansa; aper- 
tura rotundo-ovalis, superne rotundata; peristoma simplez, 
margine columellari superne reflexiusculo. 
Long. 14, diam. 10, alt. 83 mill. 
This beautiful and most peculiar species was obtained by me on 
papyrus-stems in the marshes of Huleh (waters of Merom), in the 
Upper Jordan. In the rotundity of its form and the diaphanous 
redness of its coloration it is widely removed from any other of the 
group which I have seen. The animal is very large for the shell. 
- 7. Hexrx sancta, Bourg. 
Near Jerusalem. Mousson considers this only a giant variety 
of H. cellaria. The differences, however, appear constant, both in 
colour and convexity. 
8. Heirx nivELLINA, Bourg. 
Searee throughout the country.
