Lyria silicata Dall, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mas. No. 90, 1915, p. 59, pi. 10, fig. .3 (Orthau- 

 lax pugnax zone, at Ballast Point, Tampa Bay, Florida).

Another specimen from the vicinity of the Blue Spring, near Flint 

 River, resembles the type specimen of L. silicata in being smooth, 

 but is even more inflated and shorter m proportion. Until more and 

 better specimens of this form are obtained, the limits of its variation 

 can not be safely determined.
