26 FITZGERALD '. SHELLS OF HARROGATE AND DISTRICT. 



Washburndale, came across this very rare slug, which had 

 only been reported nine times previously for Great Britain. 

 On arriving at the point where the Glaston Beck flows in- 

 to Lindley Wood Reservoir, they found a number of planks 

 lying on the ground, the remains of a dismantled building. 

 Turning these over they found slugs in great abundance, 

 including L. agrestis and its varieties L. l(Bvis, Arion ater 

 var. rufa, two or three L. maxinius var. cellaria, and the 

 greatest treasure of all, a single half-grown example of L. 

 cinereo-niger (vide Nat. July loth 1885, W. D. Roebuck). 

 This locality is just within my district.
