Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell’s Notes on Slugs . 
Limacella hilineata (Bens.). 
Incilaria hilineata , W. H. Benson, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1842, ix. 
p. 486. 
Length 26 millim., sole 4 millim. broad. Respiratory 
orifice 4 millim. from anterior border of mantle. Colour 
reddish brown. Back with obscure grey marbling, sides with 
a broadish black band. Sole finely transversely striate- 
grooved. Mantle rugose. Jaw dark, strongly curved, with 
about sixteen ribs. 
L. hilineata differs from L. confusa in its non-tuberculose 
sole, the lines on the top of the neck diverging between the 
eye-peduncles, the ground-colour, partly in the markings, and 
in the jaw. 
But for its ribbed jaw it might be thought specifically 
identical with confusa . 
Described from a specimen in the British Museum marked 
u Chusun [apparently so written, but presumably meant for 
Chusan] , on garden-fences ; ash, with dark lines lengthwise.” 
Benson’s type w T as a similar specimen from Chusan. 
Limacella monticola (Godw.-Aust.). 
Philomycus monticolus , Godw.-Aust. Journ. As. Soc. Beng. xlv. p. 315 
(1876). 
From Godwin-Austen’s short description this would appear 
to be a quite distinct species. 
Limacella chinensis y sp. nov. 
Length 17 millim., respiratory orifice millim. from 
anterior border of mantle ; sole 2 millim. broad. Colour pale 
grey, sole ochreous anteriorly. Three pale brown bands on 
mantle — one dorsal, faint ; lateral ones rather stronger ; all 
narrow. Some slight marbling round respiratory orifice. 
Sole with lateral, transverse, grooved stride. 
A small cylindrical species, tapering posteriorly. Smoother 
and more delicate than L. confusa . 
Described from a specimen in the British Museum, collected 
1300 miles up the Yang-tse River, China (Consul Swinhoe's 
collection). 
Apparently a distinct little species, but more material is 
very desirable. Judging from the published account of picta , 
it resembles that species.
