List of the MoUusca of Missouri. 75 



from Indiana ; one that was more likely to have extended 

 to the west side of the Mississippi, than was one from 

 Tennessee, the locality of sordida. But if the two names 

 plebeius and cubicoides represent the same shell, the 

 former has precedence in time of ten years, and con- 

 sequently the latter is a synonym of the former. 



There are noticeable diiferences in the Goniobases 

 from different counties of Missouri, and if every minute 

 difference made another species the list of names would 

 perhaps not be small, but until this genus has been 

 worked over thoroughly it is better to err in having too 

 few names instead of too many. 



Years ago some of the above shells were submitted 

 to Mr. Tryon, and his decision was that they were 

 saffordi, and that cubicoides and plebeius were both 

 synonyms of saffordi.
