* We didn't see any when we were in NS in 2010. Rushing to give our talk 
at the NS Museum - 22 September 2010 - Lunenburg County: Hwys 103/208 
HABITAT: rough/grassy superhwy roadside. OBSERVER: Frederick W. 
Schueler, Aleta Karstad Schueler. 2010/294/i, navigation, driveby. 
WAYPT/126, head up Highway 103 not enough time to pursue Indian Path 
black slugs - Which we'd heard of, and had taken to be more likely one 
of the black Arion species than black Limax.
