7. SEGMENTINA Flem. (Segment Shell.) 



Animal nearly like Planorbis, but the shell is polished, 

 and the cavity contracted by permanent internal 

 transverse ridges, having a triradiated opening. 



So called from the internal segments or par- 

 titions. 



Mr. Alder does not think that the septa in the 

 shell are sufficient to raise it to the rank of a ge- 

 nus, as the animal is exactly like Planorbis. Miiller 

 confounded it as a variety with P. fontanus : like 

 that species, the spire is umbilicated, and the front 

 of the shell has the appearance of being the proper 

 spire.
