IO4 LAND AND FRESH WATER MOLLUSKS 



Bulinus hordaceus Tryon, Mon. Fw. Univ. Moll. U. S., p. 170, pi. VII, fig. 

 19, 1872. 



Range. — Oregon, Washington, Vancouver Island. 



Fort Vancouver, Wash. ! near Puget Sound, Wash. ! 



This is the small species, having much the appearance of an Aplexa, 

 which has been cited on the authority of Dr. J. G. Cooper as Aplexa 

 hypnorum from near Puget Sound. This error was afterward cor- 

 rected by Cooper himself. No observations have been recorded in 

 regard to the animal, and when these have been made it is entirely pos- 

 sible that the creature may turn out to be an Aplexa. It is entirely 

 distinct from A. kypnorujn at any rate 



Genus Aplexa Fleming.
