spicuous in the forest after a raid by the Ensanafu. Speci- 

 mens sent to England were found by Lieutenant-Colonel 

 Godwin- Austen, F.R.S., to be a species hitherto un- 

 described. On Tavu Island, among dead leaves, I once 

 found a minute snail like a Vertigo, but lost it again. 



A very large snail {Achatina) with pointed shell of 

 brown colour, the mouth tinted with purple, was common 

 on Damba, and I once disturbed an Enswa-swa which 

 had apparently been much interested in one that was 

 laying its eggs in the ground. It is possible that the 

 eggs were the attraction and not the snail ; they were 

 a little larger than a pea, but not spherical, with a firm 

 shell of canary-yellow colour. 



The general name for a snail in Luganda seems to 

 be " E'sonko:'
