PL IV, fig. 10. Mantle short, truncated behind ; granulated ; yellowish brown colour; tentacles bluish black; shell small, oval, and convex beneath; keel obvious. L. Carinatus, Gray. This slug may be distinguished by its prominent keel and short truncated mantle. It is about three inches in length. The shell is two or three lines long. Hob. Gardens and damp places in the south of Eng- land. We have found single specimens in the north of Yorkshire, though by no means common. Many locali- ties in... Ireland are recorded. L. GAGATES. Draparnaud. PL IV, fig. 11. Obtuse, back carinated, bluish grey colour, lanceolate. This rare slug is only recorded as having been found in one place in England, but has been taken in many places in Ireland. The mantle is very obtuse, and in outward appearance much more resembles that of an Arion than a Limax. The shell is small, oval, and plano-convex. The head is of the same colour as the body, but the tentacles are generally rather darker. Hob. Shady places under stones, Ireland.
