2 Annals of the South African Museum. 



summary of these has been given by Mr. E. E. Sykes in the ' Journal 

 of Malacology,' and I give the same below : —

Total 408 species. 



Of the above 408 species only 16 are slugs. It would be very 

 surprising if in such a region this i-epresented the total number 

 of slug-like forms. From an examination of this collection and 

 others very kindly sent to me by Mr. H. C. Burnup, of Pieter- 

 maritzburg, I am of opinion that many new species yet await 

 discovery, and I think there can be little doubt but that future 

 investigations will bring to light a rich and interesting slug-fauna.
