11. On some newly-discovered localities of the rare Slug, Testacella 
Haliotidea. By E. J. Lows, F.R.S. 
This rare and hitherto extremely local meat-eating slug has recently been found 
in various places in Monmouthshire and South Wales. Having found a few 
examples in my kitchen gardens at Shirenewton Hall, I made an extended search 
with the following result :— 
Shirenewton Hall Kitchen Gardens (four and a half miles from Chepstow).—120 
examples were collected in less than an hour; six of these were eating worms and 
one was devouring an Arion hortensis. In the gardens and fernery, nearly half a 
mile from the kitchen gardens, six more specimens were obtained. 
Shirenewton Village.—Cottage gardens and a field added a few more examples. 
Itton Court (three miles from Chepstow).—Several specimens. 
Between Chepstow and Shirenewton, in a lane (about half-way).—A single 
specimen. 
Hardwick (half a mile from Chepstow).—Abundant. 
Chepstow (in several gardens and on the road to Portskewett).—Plentiful. 
Cardiff (in Dr. Vachell’s garden),—Common. 
Further search will no doubt add considerably to the localities of this 
interesting but little known species. 
As an instance of their destruction to worms and other slugs, it may be stated 
that twenty-five fully-grown specimens were put in a slug cage with twenty-five 
worms and the same number of Limax agrestis and Arion hortensis, and in twenty- 
four hours they had eaten the whole of them,

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 
The Chairman delivered the following Address :— 
ANTHROPOLOGY, on one of its numerous sides, marches with Geology; and hence 
it is, no doubt, that I, for many years a labourer very near this somewhat ill-defined 
border, have been invited to assist my friends and neighbours in the work which 
lies before them during the Association week. I have the more cheerfully accepted 
the invitation from a vivid recollection that when on a few occasions I have come 
uninvited into this Department, my reception has been so very cordial as to lead 
me to ask myself whether the Reports which for many years (1864 to 1880) I laid 
annually before my geological brethren did not derive their chief interest from their 
anthropological bearings and teachings. 
In 1858—a quarter of a century ago—I had the pleasure of reading to the 
Geological Section of the Association the first public communication on the ex- 
ploration, then in progress, of Brixham Cavern (more correctly, Brixham Windmill- 
Hill Cavern); and as any interest connected with that paper lay entirely in the 
evidence it contained of the inosculation and contemporaneity of Human Industrial 
Relics, of a rude character, with remains of certain extinct mammals, I purpose 
on this occasion to lay before the Department a few thoughts, retrospective and
