Limax arborum Bouchard-Chantereaux. 



Habits and Habitat.— Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., found tliis 

 species to be common and exclusively a denizen of gardens at the 

 Antipodes, both at Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide, and Wellington. 



Reproduction. — The period of reproduction in this species evidently 

 extends over a considerable period. The eggs have been observed as early 

 as January 1904, in Ayrshire, by the Rev. R. Godfrey, and adults, half- 

 grown, and young specimens are also found together early in the year ; the 

 younger ones are always the most distinctly marked, and usually become 

 more unicolorous with age. 



Affinities. — The Limax sylvaticus var. clypeo-fasciata of Wattebled 

 (Jo urn. de Conch., 1889, p. 309) described as rare in the woods at 

 Mouchard, C6te d'Or, is probably really referable to this species. 



Variation. — Mr. Roebuck in Australia found all tlie examples referable 

 in colour to the var. rosea Broeck, being of a rich rufous-brown, and yet 

 not conformable to any of the sub-varieties described at pp. 94-95. The 

 majority of the specimens were perfectly unicolorous on the body, while 

 those found at East Prahran, Melbourne, had the second or main band 

 represented by a fine but very distinct and continuous dark line. He sup- 

 plies me with diagnoses of two new varieties, efasciata and bilineata. 



Geological History. — From old soil of Holocene deposit at Cleeve 

 Hill, Gloucestershire (Hinton & Kennard, Pr. Cott. Nat. F.C, 1904, p. 65).
