The _Pupa mummia_ is found in the Antilles; it takes its name from the
singularity of its form, which very much resembles that of a mummy.
The Pupa is essentially a land-shell, living among grass, on stones,
and sometimes in places much exposed to the heat of the sun. The
greater number of the species, which are very numerous, are natives of
tropical countries; there are, however, several found in Germany, and
other parts of the Continent, but they are extremely small.
