This small species has the spire acute and short, the last whorl dis- 

 proportionately swollen and usually shouldered. It appears to have 

 flourished during the melting of the glacial ice, and to the muddy 

 waters of the period its peculiarities may be due. The recent form 

 seems less abnormal on the average. 



There are two species which have been called traskii — the pres- 

 ent one, with which Tryon afterward mistakenly united L. proxima 

 Lea, a much larger species ; and L. traskii Lea, later 

 called tryoni and tryoniana by Dr. Lea, which is a 

 Stagnicola.

This has the appearance of a large L. truncatula, but may be merely 

 a depauperate variety of the next species.
