158 ASHFORD : LIST OF CHRISTCHURCH MOLLUSCA. 



darker brown band on sides and mantle. Christchurch, 

 on kitchen refuse, occasionally in the garden under dead 

 leaves. 



A. bourguignati. — A small slug about the length of A. 

 hortensis, but fuller bodied, grey or silver-grey, with a 

 narrow dark band on each side. Christchurch, under 

 dead leaves and damp boards with A. hortensis. 



A. hortensis. — Gardens and meadows, Christchurch, Mude- 

 ford, Chuton Glen. In this district it is pretty uniform in 

 size and colour — black back and sides, shading off into 

 iron-grey or greenish-grey. 



Amalia gagates. — Christchurch, in heaps of refuse and dead 

 leaves, occasionally in outhouses climbing the walls with 

 L.flavus. The light grey form {plumbea), and no other, 

 occurs here. 



A. marginata. — Christchurch, frequent in garden on rock- 

 work, refuse, dead leaves, etc., typical. Four individuals 

 on a wall at Mudeford in 1879, none found there since. 



Limax laevis. — Boggy ground and river banks, especially 

 under old logs in several places near Christchurch. Its 

 associates in one instance were A. hortensis and Zonites 

 niiidus. Whether actually submerged or not appears to 

 be a matter of perfect indifference to this little slug. If 

 held upon a piece of stick it will let itself down by a 

 thread of mucus. " Scarcely varies at all in colour. 



L. flavus. — Frequent in gardens and outhouses. Christ- 

 church ; Mudeford . . Much darker and tinged with green 

 when young. 



L. agrestis. — Strictly unspotted individuals rare; those 

 a^pproaching this condition not numerous ; prevailing form 

 distinctly spotted or blotched {sylvatica), frequently with 

 russet, reddish-brown, or brown markings in gardens, and 

 generally with some shade of grey in meadows. Christ- 

 church, Hengistbury Head, Highcliff, Barton, Winkton, 

 Burton, Sopley...[Ringwood, Holmsley].
