Nest and Eggs of Umax flavus. — On the 6th July my 

 friend Mr. R. Deans, of 126, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, showed 

 me a cluster of thirteen eggs in a shallow depression on the 

 surface of some earth in a wickerwork basket used for growing' 

 a plant. The depression was most evidently excavated for the 

 purpose, oval or squarely oval in shape, about half an inch in 

 depth, two inches long", and about an inch wide. The eggs were 

 symmetrically oval with both ends blunt, about 6x4 mm., clear 

 and translucent. There were slime tracts on the basket, and 

 I asked Mr, Deans what kind of slugs he had in his back garden. 

 He said they were large ones, whitish in colour. Search was 

 made, and at once resulted in finding an example of Liinax 

 flcivus, the Cellar-Slug, with the usual markings but very pale 

 colour, being- indeed ochre-white rather than the usual strong 

 amber-yellow tinge. I record these notes, partly because it is 

 so seldom we have any such records, partly because of the early 

 date, the Continental authors usually giving It later, in August 

 and September. — W. Dhnison Roebuck, Leeds, 15th July 1903.
