NOTES ON THE NOMENCLATURE OF PUPILLID^. 



BY H. A. PILSKKY. 



The receipt of an article from Professor Cockerell iipoii lliis sub- 

 ject, published in this number, causes me to insert lieie ,-onie notes 

 which had been prepared for a forthcoming paper upon the snails of 

 Arizona and New Mexico. The status of the name Pupa was dis- 

 cussed by Mr. B. B. Woodward (Journ. of Conch., Oct., 1903,358). 

 who did good work towards clearing the ground. Dall in this jom- 

 nal for February, '04, also went over the nomenclatun? correcting 

 some errors, but complicating tlie question by a few new ones. His 

 statement that " Risso's first species [of Jaminia^ is Vertigo minu- 

 tissima Hartmann, wiiich should properly have been placed in S<ira- 

 phia," is not borne out by an examination of Risso's work, wherein 

 tiie species stand thus:

All of Risso's species of Jaminia that are recognizable belong to 

 the subsequent groups Ena 1831, Pupilla 1831, Abida 1831, Eucore 

 1837, and Laicrin 1840. 



Now p. muscorum under the name marginata was second of the two 

 species for which the name Pupilla was proposed in 1831 in Turton's 

 Manual, the other being P. umbilicata. The latter was removed in 

 1840 to Lnuria, leavinir P. muscnrum the type of Pupilla. Tiiere is
