Making the usual allowances for variation, this is a fairly well dis- 

 criminated species, which frequently has been identified as L. desidi- 

 osa, pahistris, etc. The largest are more fragile, smaller and paler 

 than L. palustris, and not especially similar to it. I have had the 

 advantage of being able to consult a very large series of authentically 

 named Greenland shells, received from Morch and others, as well as 

 the fine Arctic series in the National Museum. Most of the specimens 

 are microscopically wrinkled on the surface, like L. palustris, but 

 this character is not absolutely constant.
