Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...serving as a cover to the sinus. The genus is not indigenous to North America, the only known species here having been introduced by commerce. The genus Arion was separated from Limax by Ferussac, to contain those species of the latter genus having a terminal pore or sinus. It is universally recognized, and has been fortunate in escaping any confusion of synonymy. The habits of the North American species have been given on p. 11. I have not been able to give any information regarding two of the species found within our limits, A. Andersoni (see below, p. 239), and A. foliolatus. Indeed there seems so much uncertainty in regard to them, that I doubt their belonging to this genus. For fuller information, see below. This leaves only one species, A. hortensis, Fer., described and figured in Vols. II. and III., and in L. & Fr.-W. Sh. N. A., I., referred to A. fuscus, Mull. The species was introduced by commerce into Boston many years ago. It still exists there,1 specimens having been found by me in 1871, from one of which I extracted the jaw and lingual membrane here described. I have compared the figures of the genitalia of A. hortensis given by Lehmann and A. Schmidt1 with those given by Leidy in Terr. Moll. U. S. There is a difference in the position of the retractor muscle of the penis. Leidy places it at the base of the penis sac, Lehmann at the top, Schmidt omitting it entirely. The last two authors figure a retractor to the duct of the genital bladder, and so does Leidy (though in the description of the plates he refers it to the vagina). Lehmann figures a retractor also to the genital bladder itself. Lehmann's figure of the genitalia of A.fuscus (PI. VI. Fig. 2) agrees more closely with Leidy's figure in all respects, indeed, but the position of the ...

Edit ProfileCareer
He was responsible for volumes 4 and 5 of The Terrestrial Air-Breathing Mollusks of the United States , a task he took over from his father, Amos Binney, and collaborator, Augustus Addison Gould. The ninety engraved plates which were part of volume 5, illustrating most of the then known land mollusk fauna, are particularly noteworthy. Binney"s obituary in the New York Times, included the following information:
