Remarks: .“This remarkable species was dredged from the 
marl bottom of Pine Lake. No living specimens were found, and in 
all probability it is extinct. In its external characteristics it is more 
nearly related to L. jayi Dunker (gracilis Jay) than to any other of the 
described species, but the resemblance is a general one only, the two 
species differing in nearly every detail. The continuous, free lip and 
straight columella are exceedingly like those of jayi, and would nat- 
urally cause it to be referred to the subgenus Acella. But the axis is 
not gyrate, as in that group, but is rounded and without a fold, as in 
Galba. 
“The young shell is subcylindrical, and with its heavily shouldered, 
turreted whorls and narrow aperture reminds one of the curious L. 
contracta Currier from Houghton Lake. I take pleasure in dedicating 
this very peculiar species to Mr. Frank C. Baker, of the Chicago Acad- 
emy of Sciences, who has made a special study of the North Ameri- 
can Lymneeas.”’

SHELL: Elongated, somewhat pyramidal; surface dull, growth 
lines conspicuous, crossed by fine impressed spiral lines; whorls 6- 
614, rather rapidly increasing in diameter, flatly rounded, the body 
whorl very large and quite convex, or even gibbous; spire broadly 
pyramidal or conic, longer than the aperture; sutures well marked; 
aperture elongate ovate, much narrowed above, generally wide and 
flaring below; outer lip with varical thickening; inner lip rather broad, 
reflected over the umbilical region, forming a conspicuous expansion 
and leaving a well marked umbilical chink; parietal callus wide and 
rather thick, in some specimens rendering the aperture continuous ; axis 
twisted ; the columella is plicate in the immature shell but in adult or 
old specimens the inner lip is raised over the umbilicus, somewhat as 
in emarginata.
