In this condition it has a very accuminate appearance, the apex being minute and pellucid, if not coated with an earthy deposit. The almost smooth whorls which are constricted below the suture, the dark olive colour and smaller size, are features which may separate this species from the preceding. 6.

This is a larger and more globose form than P. isseli, and differs also from that species in the whorls being concave below the suture, in the spiral impressed lines and the more ovate or less acuminate aperture. Its greatly superior size distinguishes it from P. moreleti; the want of colour-bands, and the absence of the " flattened semi- circular space" behind "the columella," may separate it from P. lacunoides, which it otherwise resembles in many respects. It appears to exhibit more transverse sculpture, and the orange lip may be characteristic, although I have not seen this peculiarity in any of the specimens from NOTE ON A SPECIES OF LIMAX FROM IRELAND.
