ON THE MEANS FOE DESTROYING SNAILS. 
BY M. BRACONNOT. 
I determined to undertake the analysis of the small grey snail 
(Limax agrestis ), so frequently found in gardens and in the fields, and 
which has this year done so much damage to all kinds of cultivation, 
hoping that such an investigation might lead to the discovery of a 
means of preventing the too great increase of these creatures. My 
attention was especially directed to the glutinous matter which they 
continually secrete, and which serves to attach their bodies to the 
surfaces over which they pass. 
I endeavoured to find out in what way lime, which has long been 
recommended to cultivators as a means of destroying snails, acted 
upon them; and I have ascertained that lime-water diluted with
