80 THE NAUTILUS. 



RANGE OF LYMN^A UMBILICATA, 



BY FRANK C. BAKEK. 



This recently recognized and very distinct species has been re- 

 ported from a number of rather widely separated localities. Its 

 range would seem to be from Ontario and Northern Maine west to 

 southeastern Michigan and soutii to New Jersey. It has doubtless 

 been identified as humilis and will be found in many collections 

 under this all embracing name. L. umbilicata is not a race of L. 

 cubensis, as suggested by Mr. Walker, but a distinct species, the 

 radula having tricuspid laterals where those of cubensis are bicuspid.'
