. Mollusca ... Mollusks. AtfADEKUS. 479 Mr. Gr. Nevill, in the Molluscan portion of the ' Scientific Eesults of the Second Tarkand Mission,' under Anad. altivagus, I well remember his showing me in Calcutta. They are certainly very distinct from the Simla specimens I have seen, and much nearer A. jerdoni in outward appearance. Heyuemann's name would have well suited these gigantic Nepalese slugs ; but his description certainly applies to a much smoother animal, so well shown in his figure of a portion of the foot viewed from above (plate 1, fig. Ih), and which I reproduce on plate vii, fig. 4.

It is rather unfortunate that Godwin-Austen, when naming this species, did not give a full Fig. 152.—Anadeims jerdoni. (Copied from Land and Freshw. Moll. India.) 469. Anadenus blanfordi, Godwin-Austen. Anadenus blanfordi, Godwin-Austen, Moll. India, i, 1882, p. 53 ; Cookerell, The Concliologist, ii, 1893, p. 192. Original description :—" From the single spirit-specimen it would appear to have been of a dark ochraceous brown, with some dark grey mottlings on the upper part of the foot. It may be distinguished by the very different arrangement of the warty pro- tuberances on the epidermis, these being well raised, isolated, and elougately diamond-shaped. "Total length 44, length of mantle 16, breadth 11 ; ( Godwin-Austen.) Hah. India : Darjeeling, about 7000 ft. (Blanford). " There is uo doubt of its distinctness from all other species I have seen, but I defer figuring it until I receive a large collection in spirit now on its way from ; (Godwin-Austen.).
