Abstract

BETWEEN four and five months ago I found eleven specimens of this slug upon a low wall surrounding the garden of a house near the Oxford University Parks, and on the following day I captured eleven more in the same place. There had been exceptionally heavy rain, extending over some days, immediately previous to those on which I found the specimens, and it therefore seems probable that these animals are driven out of the earth when it becomes sodden with moisture. Thus it is possible to account for the capture of a very unusual number of specimens, for, as far as I can learn, the species has hitherto only been met with singly in this locality.
