Amalia gagates, Drp. 



Although exhibiting some slight anatomical differences from the 

 European gagates, these are not of sufficient importance to warrant 

 separation from that species. Like the specimen previously recorded 

 (op. cit. p. 2), these are all dark coloured. " The common slug on 

 all the mountains round Cape Town " (E. M. L. in litt.).

Animal limaciform, broader anteriorly than posteriorly, dorsally 

 bluish-black, slightly lighter at the sides. No trace of keels. Eadi- 

 ating lines from respiratory orifice plainly marked, the two mid-dorsal 

 ones prominent. Peripodial groove faint. Foot-fringe and foot-sole 

 (in alcohol) whitish-yellow [" ferrugineus," E. M. L. in litt.] , not 

 differentiated into median and lateral plains. Eugae large. Length 

 (in alcohol) 25 mm. ; breadth of foot-sole, 4 mm. 



Hab. Table Mt., Cape Town, E. M. Lightfoot, 5642. 



This is probably an immature specimen, but there can be little 

 doubt of its distinctiveness from A. gibbonsi, W. G. Binn., A. burnupi, 

 E. A. Sm., or A. natalensis, Cllge. I hope further specimens may 

 be obtained in order that the anatomy may be figured and described^ 



Family ARIONIDiE, Gray. 



Gen. OOPELTA, Morch. 



Oopelta atebeima, Gray. 

 The type of this species is in the British Museum, and through the 

 kindness of Mr. Edgar A. Smith I have recently had an opportunity 

 of examining it. The original label has written on it " Limax (Arion) 

 allerian, S. Africa." Later some one has written " Girasia" (!) and 

 Prof. Cockerell ''Oopelta ?? " and " Arioii" aterrivuis, Gray.
