Slug new to Yorkshire. — I have a most important discovery by my 

 indefatigable friend Mr. W, West to announce to the readers of the 

 Naturalist. It is Limax cinereo-niger, one of the most recent additions 

 to the British list of moUusca. Mr. West found it on the 15th October, 

 feeding on a fungus " Cortinarius " in Shipley Glen, Mr. Soppitt being 

 with him on the occasion. The species is a large one, and very hand- 

 somely marked. Its nearest ally is the familiar Limax maximus, so well 

 known for its being conspicuously spotted and striped with black. Our 

 new species, on the contrary, differs from it in being uniformly coloured, 

 generally black or extremely dark cinereous, but it always has the keel 

 and a central line on the back in continuation of it pale, generally dirty- 

 white. There are other marked differences between the two species, in 

 the character of the rugosities on the back, and in respect of the 

 colouring of the sole of the foot. In L. maximus the rugosities are only 

 moderately developed, and the foot -sole is uniformly pale in colour ; but 

 in L. cinereo-niger the rugosities are very large and strongly developed, 

 and the foot-sole is di\ided longitudinally into three parts, of which the 

 two outer ones are dajk coloured, and only the inner one is pale.
