LORENZO E. DANIELS. 



L. E. Daniels was born at Mazon, Grundy Co., Illinois, 

 March 4th, 1852. The son of a farmer, his early life was spent 

 on the farm, and so far as known his education was in the local 

 schools. 



While a farmer in Illinois, though a Democrat in politics, he 

 was called from the plow in that strong Republican community 

 to take the office of sheriff. Though modest to a fault and with 

 none of the politician or office-holder in thought or manner, 

 the administration was nevertheless a success. The term of 

 office was enlivened by puzzling criminal cases, including 

 murder, and there were also serious strikes in the coal fields; 



3 A. bicarinata, the type of Archachatina, is a decidedly aberrant species. 

 For the dextral continental species, which have the surface smoothish and 

 even, I propose the subgenus Calachatina, A. marginata (Swains.), Man. 

 Conch., XVI, 109, being the type. 



* Gistel, Naturgeschichte des Thierreichs fur hohere Schulen, 1848. p. viii. 

 Geodes is a substitute for Achatina Lam., no species mentioned. 



5 Gistel, torn, cit., p. 168. Oncaea is a substitute for Achatina Auct. ; several 

 species are briefly described. 



6 Jousseaume merely mentioned " le genre Urceus Klein (Achatina Lam.) " 

 without any species. It therefore takes the same type as Lamarck's genus.
