1 88 JOURNAL OF CONCHOLOGY, VOL. 9, NO. 6, APRIL, 1899. 



Var. krynicki Kal,, 185 1, sub-v. griseus Collinge. — Feeding on 

 gorse-bloom, on Bratton Hill, near Wincanton. 



A. hortensis Fer., 1819. — A very common species throughout the 

 county. 



Var. caeruleus Cllge. — Bratton St. Maur, frequent. 



*A. fasciatus Nilsson, 1822 (=A. circumscriptus Johnston, 

 1828, = A. bourguignati Mabille, 1868). — Not so abundant as the 

 preceding species, but apparently evenly distributed. 



*A. minimus Simroth. — In all probability common, but often 

 confounded with immature forms of Arion ater. It should be noted 

 that the rugosities in this species consist of small pointed projections, 

 arranged in symmetrical rows, whilst those of A. ater are long and 

 irregular; moreover A. minimus has lateral bands, which are never 

 present in A. aier. It is common in the district around Wincanton, 

 and I have also observed it at West Pennard, near Glastonbury. 



* Limax maximus L. — Very common. Norman says of this 

 species : — " The striped and spotted varieties are common. We met 

 with a variety in Cleve Coombe remarkably distinct, and we believe 

 hitherto unrecorded. It was altogether pitchy black, without spot or 

 markings of any kind, and fully six inches long." 



Var. maculata Leach, 1820 (Norman's spotted variety). — 

 Bratton St. Maur, abundant ; Bath (Mrs. Oldroyd) ; Hatch Beau- 

 champ (Bowell). 



Var. cellaria D'Arg. (Norman's striped variety).— Bratton St. 

 Maur, common. 



Var. lilacina Roeb., 1884. — Hatch Beauchamp (Bowell). 

 Var. fasciata Raz., 1789. — Bratton St. Maur. The "pitchy 

 black" form of Norman may doubtless be referred to L. cinereo-niger 

 Wolf in Sturm. 1805, var. niger Moquin-Tandon. It may here be 

 remarked that L. cinereo-niger has no claim to specific rank, being only 

 a variety of the above species. 



L. marginatus Mull., i774(=L. arborum Bouch., 1838). — 

 Fairly well distributed. " On trees and rocks in Goblin, Cleeve, and 

 Brockley Coombes, and some of the glens running up into the Men- 

 dips, near Wells" (Norman) ; general, in the Bristol district (Cundall); 

 "Very common in the woods around Hatch Park, near Taunton" 

 (Bowell); Coombe Down, Bath (Mrs. Oldroyd); Lily Wood, Bratton 

 St. Maur, and Milton Clevedon. 



Amalia sowerbyi Fer., 1823 (= Limax marginatus Jeffr.). — 

 A very local species. Bath (Mrs. Oldroyd) ; "somewhat sparingly at 

 Hatch Beauchamp, more common at Beer Crowcombe, an adjacent 

 village " (Bowell) ; " at Clevedon in gardens, and in the copse 

 between the Upper Clevedon and the beach" (Norman).
