 Pupa minuta. V. Charpentier, MSS. 

 Inhab. under stones on downs. 

 Animal blackish red, shining. 



Dr. Fleming, who first described this shell, con- 

 founded it with Pupa obtusa of Drap., but he observed 

 that it is not a line in length, while Draparnaud's 

 shell is about half an inch; this has only five whorls, 

 and his has eight. It was sent to Dr. Fleming by 

 Mr. Chambers, surgeon, Kirkaldy, who found it in 

 the parish of Balmenna, Fifeshire. 



Mr. Forbes states, that this is the Pupa obtusa de- 

 scribed, by Dr. Fleming; for he has " a specimen which 

 belonged to Captain Laskey, so labelled by himself." 

 Mr. Jeffreys has referred it, as a synonym, to Pupa 

 alpestris.
