GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. Inhabits the region 

 of Lake Superior, where it was first obtained by Mr. T. 

 R. Dutton, and subsequently by Mr. J. W. Foster. 



REMARKS. This is one of our prettiest species. It is 

 rather larger and darker colored than P. corticaria ; 

 and its aperture is much smaller, and differently armed. 

 Its form, color, and armature are more like P. G-ouldii ; 

 but its size is twice as great. It no doubt belongs to 

 the same section of the genus. [G.]
