so very small, it should be struck off the list of British slugs. 
Sub-genus, Lehmannia , Heym. 
Limax variegatus, Drap. 
=L. flavus, Auctt. 
Distribution. The census for thirty-four counties. I have 
taken it in woods at Doddington, Kent. The Conchological 
Society follow the old nomenclatur e=L.flavus. There are seven 
known British varieties. 
Limax marginatus, Mull., 1774. 
—L. arborum , B. Ch., 1838. 
Collinge was the first to rightly give the nomenclature and 
synonymy of this species (see Conchologist, Vol. 1, p. 9-10), which 
the Conchological Society has so mixed up. 
Distribution. The census for forty counties. An addition is 
east Kent, Co. 15, it occurs at Doddington and Wychling, near 
Sittingbourne, it is also fairly common in woods at Bratton St. 
Maur, Somerset. Eight varieties are recorded, but var. viaculatus , 
Rbk., is doubtful. . 
Genus, Agriolimax, Malm. 
Agriolimax agreslis, L. 
Distribution. The census for one hundred counties It is a 
very common species. I have observed it, also the var. nigra; 
at Bratton St. Maur, Somerset, with nigra and sylvaticus , at 
Wychling, Kent, and with griseus at Southampton. There are 
ten varieties, but lilacinus Moq., is doubtful, yet acknowledged by 
the Conchological Society, whilst the var. griseus , Ckll., is 
excluded ! 
Agriolimax loevis , Muller. 
Distribution. The census records it for twenty-two counties. 
Cockerell’s var. maculatus , is acknowledged by Collinge and 
other authorities, yet excluded by the Conchological Society from 
their recent list. 
Genus Amalia. 
Section Pu'ainea , Pollanera. 
Amalia gagates, Drap. 
The census records it for twenty-four counties. I have taken 
it commonly in the gardens at Wychling Rectory, Kent. There 
are three varieties, plumbed , Moq ; rava , Ulms ; and olivacea , 
Moq. 
Section Tandonia , Pollonera. 
Amalia sowerbyi, Fer. 
=A. marginal a, Brit. Auctt. 
Collinge was the first to rightly give the nomenclature and syn¬ 
onymy of this species, as well as that of L. variegatus , before 
mentioned, (see Conchologist,Y ol. 1., p. 10.) The census records 
it for thirty-two counties. I notice it is very common at South¬ 
ampton. There are two varieties, bicolor and nigrescens, described 
by Cockerell. The Conchological Society gives a variety nigri-
