Subject: The Question Man asks;-

   No pigs or bugs this time.
   I would like information on Epitonium frondicula S. Wood, 1848.
   E. eximia Pecchioli 1854 is a synonym.
   What I need to know is: who was "S. Wood"? Is there any data on his
dates, where he lived, where his holotype is deposited? Did he publish
anything else? The "frondicula" I am looking at appear to be fossils.
Are they also among the living?
   I don't have much information on Pecchioli either.
   Thanks All,
