The Land - snails, represented by the common Helix, the gigantic Bulimus, and the Slug {Limax), are distinguished by their four " horns," the short front pair being the true tentacles, and the long hinder pair being the eye-stumps. They have a saw - like upper jaw for biting leaves, and a short tongue covered with minute teeth. The Pond-snails, as Limnaea and Planorbis, differ.
