Notes on some Indian and Burmese Helicidce. [No. 3 



This slug is pretty common at Rangoon and is found harbouring 

 under potsherds, bricks and rubbish in moist spots. 



Family Limacid.ze. 



LlMAX YIRXPIS, Th. 



Corpore expanso, pone acuminato, flavo cinereo. Paliio magno, lsete 

 colorato viridi-flavo limonis, Tentaculis superioribus, longis, pallidis, 

 oculos parvos nigros gerentibus ; et linea paliide smaragdina ad basin 

 notatis. Tentaculis inferioribus minutissimis. 



Habitat inter folia in dumetis marinis " mangrove'' dictis apud 

 littus Peguense, prope fines provincial Arracan. 



This elegant little Umax is very active and creeps about briskly oa 

 the green foliage of the salt swamps, which (i. e. the leaves) it 

 resembles in colour. 



In my last paper I included two limaces, L. Memnon and L. Sen- 

 galensis of which I unfortunately have no descriptions. The first is 

 a large black slug from Hoshungabad, the other a small grey slug 

 from Dinajpur. 



Hoplites. 



This genus is formed for the reception of some large slugs, common 

 at Teria Ghat near Sylhet. I have unfortunately no notes, but the 

 animal is like Vitrina and closer perhaps to that group than to the 

 slugs. It has a tough membranous plate on the centre of the back, 

 conspicuous in the living animal, but no shelly plate. Its total length 

 is about two inches.
