ZOOLOGICAL NOTES. 
Note on Pupa COncinna. — in the Scottish Naturalist for April, Mr. 
Thos. Scott gives a description and figure of a supposed new species of Vertigo^ 
proposed to be called V. concinna. It is to be noted that long ago Lowe 
described a species from Madeira as Pupa concinna, and as most authors 
seem now agreed that Vertigo is but a sub-genus of Pupa, it appears that Mr. 
Scott's name for the new shell cannot stand.

Note on Vertigo concinna — Scott. — In my paper on "The Scotch 
Species of the Molluscan genus Vertigo," in the last issue of the Scottish 
Naturalist, I proposed Vertigo concinna as a provisional name for what appears 
to be an undescribed species from a post-tertiary marl at Kirkland, Leven, 
Fifeshire. Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell points out in the present issue of the 
Scottish Naturalist, that Lowe has described a Pupa from Madeira as Pupa 
concinna ; this I was unaware of, and as there is a tendency among recent 
authors to consider Vertigo as a sub-genus of Pupa (see preliminary remarks, 
p. 2. of my paper), I have decided, in order to avoid possible duplication, to 
change Vertigo concinna to Vertigo levenensis.
