APPENDIX — MIL AX GAGATES. 281 



A. laevis campestris var. oceidentalis Cooper. 



NEABCTIC REGION. 

 California— Near the summit of Tehachipi Pass at an altitude of 4,000 feet, Mav 

 1885 (J. G. Cooper, Cal. Acad. Sci., 1885, p. 252). 



Mr. G. H. Clapp reports the gradual diminution in abundance of Agriolimax 

 Imvis campestns about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Cazenovia, New York, this 

 decrease in numbers being apparently correlated with and perhaps due to the 

 increasing abundance of the imported A. agrestis, which is now in many places 

 quite the commonest slug of the country, and although in Europe the two species 

 usually occupy different stations, and do not pointedly conflict, yet this distinction 

 may not apply so forcibly in the New World.

NEARCTIC REGION. 



Pennsylvania— This species, though first observed in the Phipps' Conservatory, 

 Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, has now obtained a firm foothold beyond the buildings 

 and is beginning to disperse outside (G. H. Clapp, Oct. 1906). 



CuVilomia.— Milax hewsloni is undoubtedly increasing in and about gardens, to 

 which situations it is strictly limited, and where it is often very destructive. In 

 1879 it was discovered by Dr. Anderson at Santa Cruz, though unknown there in 

 1865. It is still unsettled whether Limax sandivickensis is identical (Cooper, Cal. 

 Acad. Sci., 1885, p. 250).
