 Ensina picciola (Bigot).

Numerous specimens, Mangrove Cay, Andros, Aug. 1-4. Common through- 

 out the Greater Antilles, Bermuda, Florida, Colorado and Mexico. According 

 to the present rules of nomenclature, I do not see how Bigot's name can be set aside. 

 Loew acknowledges that the synonymy is not doubtful, for he says: — "Through the 

 kindness of Mr. Gundlach, I have been put in possession of numerous typical speci- 

 mens." An objection to the name cannot be considered a valid reason for placing 

 it in the synonymy.
