154 FARRER: MOLLUSCA OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT. 
Amalia gagates (Drap.).—Buttermere, Grasmere, Rosthwaite, 
Keswick, and Bassenthwaite. At the latter place the var. 
plumbea occasionally turns up. During the summer this 
species entirely disappears from sight. 
A. Sowerbyi (Fér.).—Not uncommon in woods near Keswick 
and Braithwaite, though I have only taken one specimen 
at Bassenthwaite in Sir Wilfrid Lawson’s woods. 
Limax maximus L.—Very abundant throughout in woods, 
hedge-rows and gardens. ‘The variety #zacu/ata seems to be 
confined to the latter situations. ; 
L. cinereo-niger Wolf. — Two very fine examples of this 
species were taken in Sir Wilfrid Lawson’s woods at Bas- 
senthwaite. _ 
L. flavus L.—A few about the ruins of an old mill at Bassen- 
thwaite and one or two young from a wall at Keswick, are 
all I have met with of this slug. 
L. marginatus (Miill.).—One of our commonest slugs, being 
met with at all times and seasons wherever trees afford it a 
hiding place. I have found it when bird-nesting on the 
topmost branches of lofty larch and beech trees. 
Agriolimax agrestis (L.).—Needless to say we suffer, as does 
the greater portion of this country, from the ravages of this 
ever-present and vyariously-coloured ‘ 
‘reptile,’ as I have 
often heard it called hereabout. From milky white to inky 
black—through every intermediate shade it may be found. 
A. levis Miill.—Very common indeed in the dampest part of 
the woods, amongst dead leaves and moss throughout the 
entire district. 
Testacella haliotidea Drap. — “ Here’s yan wi’ his tail 
hoosed,” was what a rustic said to me one day as he handed 
me a specimen of this species captured in Mrs. Howard’s , 
glasshouse, Ravenstone, Bassenthwaite. 
Vitrina pellucida (Miill.).—Extremely abundant during the 
autumn and winter months in woods and hedge-rows, feeding 
on freshly fallen sycamore leaves. It is noticeably absent
