Iconica, Unto Plate LV, Fig. 283, 1867. Both Reeve and 



Dr. Lea had before them, for drawing and description, 



large and well-worn, very old, specimens. 



This form has occurred to us in the Ouachita, at Malvern, 



and the Saline river, at Benton. From the last named place 



large and fine examples that would readily pass under the 



name of Unio camelus Lea were obtained. The range of the 



species is from western New York west to Kansas and south 



to Texas. It attains a very great size in the Cumberland 



river, Tennessee, where it is exceedingly abundant. Specimens 



collected by amateurs have been received under the name of 



Unio arctior Lea. 



Unio plenus Lea.

 The westernmost range for this form has been determined 

 thus far to be eastern Kansas in the Neosha river. In Arkan- 

 sas it has occurred to us in collections made in the Ouachita 

 river, at Malvern, and in the St. Francis river, at Wittsburg. 

 It is a very abundant shell in the first named stream. See 

 remarks under Unio ohliquus Lamarck.
