ENA. 241 



After some considerable search I have succeeded in tracing 

 Hutton's name Pupa sylvatica, referred to by Reeve when de- 

 scribing and illustrating Ena nivicola, and by Pfeiffer*, both on 

 the authority of Benson, neither having seen the original. The 

 complete reference is as follows : Calcutta Journal of Natural 

 History (Edited by McClelland), i, 1841, p. 479. No question of 

 priority, however, is involved, since no description is given by 

 Hutton ; but on account of Eeeve's misleading statement " Pupa 

 sylvatica of Hutton, ' described ' in M'Clelland's Journal for 

 January 1841" I have thought it useful to place this fact on 

 record. 



Fig. 90. Ena nivicola. f . 



E. nivicola is the most ventricose member of the group. The 

 British Museum possesses six specimens received from Hutton 

 and labelled " Snowy Range." Some of these exceed the type in 

 their dimensions, ranging in size from Il'5x6'5 mm. to 12x6 

 and 14x7 mm. 



The shell here figured is one of six from the Snowy Range 

 received by the British Museum from Hutton in 1856.
