This pretty little shell is closely allied to E. subulata, and may be 

 regarded as a "critical" species. Specimens from Skye and Bel- 

 fast are much larger than the dwarf variety of E. subulata. The 

 characteristic differences are pointed out in ' British Conchology.' 

 Some specimens of the present species are slightly curved.
