LYMNZIDZ OF NORTH AMERICA. 359 
Danielsi was at first thought to be a typical Lymne@a, but an 
examination of the genitalia shows it to be a Galba closely allied to 
palustris and reflexa. The species is named in honor of Mr. L. E. 
Daniels of LaPorte, Indiana, who first made known this distinct and 
handsome species. It is an interesting circumstance that so large and 
distinct a Lymnzid should have been unnoticed in a region so thor- 
oughly explored as the state of Indiana.

SHELL: Acutely conic, varying from thin to rather thick; 
periostracum light yellowish horn to black; surface dull to shining; 
sculpture consisting of rather heavy growth lines crossed by impressed 
spiral lines; very rarely malleated; whorls 6-7, moderately convex, 
rapidly increasing in diameter, the body whorl usually somewhat 
obese; nuclear whorls dark chestnut, rounded, the first whorl some- 
what larger than in palustris and reflexa; spire long and acutely conic; 
sutures well impressed, deeply so in many specimens, and sometimes 
bordered below by a dark band; aperture nearly elliptical, sometimes
