ISTORY.— Z////'^r Jhini^ (jJiu-ux, 3'ellow), 

 was first (.li.seviuiiuateil li)' ]ji.ster, but Liiine's 

 name takes preeeileiico, and although doubt 

 lias been cast by some writers on the correct 

 identification of Linne's species, yet the des- 

 cri})tion lie gives, and his reference to the 

 characteristic figure of Lister, would seem 

 to remijve all dnubt on the subject. 



This species is ranged under the sub- 

 generic name of Li liiiiuiiiiiii, to emphasize 

 the presence of the cu-cal .-ippendage to the 

 rectum, the (-hief dillerence its organization 

 lireseuts to tliat of tlie typical Liiuaces. Tliis 

 section is also known under the names of 

 Llm((Cii.<, I'/i'jit/io/i/i/t(.r, and iSinirnf/ini. 



With this line species we associate Signer 

 Xapoleone Pini, who has so carefully studied 

 the slugs of Lond)ardy, and to whom we are 

 indebted for the discrimination of the varie- 

 ties tiljriiKi and (■iiliihriiiit of this species.
