RECORDS. 
INDIANA: Turkey Lake, Kosciusko Co. (Daniels). 
GEOLOGICAL DistRIBUTION: Unknown. 
Ecotocy: Not recorded. 
REMARKS: Blatchleyi may be known by its long spire, regularly 
increasing whorls and rounded body whorl. It is smaller than typical 
palustris and differs markedly in its spire and aperture, palustris having 
a large, corpulent shell with large aperture. The present race differs 
from Galba elodes and Galba elodes joletensis in its more rounded 
and more regularly increasing whorls. Alpenensis has a broader shell 
with a differently shaped inner lip and spire. 
Efforts to include this form with the described varieties of palustris 
have proven futile. It lives in Turkey Lake in large numbers, is very 
uniform in shape and size and is certainly entitled to a name. I take 
great pleasure in dedicating this interesting race to Mr. Blatchley, State 
Geologist of Indiana. The shells were discovered and collected by 
Mr. L. E. Daniels, and were previously reported as Lymnea palustris 
michiganensis, which small specimens somewhat resemble.

1In the synonymy only the references to Say’s original elodes (besides 
one or two others) are included, as most authors have used the name to cover 
the majority of the palustris-like forms of America, Under palustris all of the 
remaining references to elodes are given,
