EXPLANATION OF PLATE 11. 



Figures 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, are from specimens collected 

 from a spring of shallow running water, subject to being 

 dried up, and flowing into the Susquehanna at Marietta, 

 Pennsylvania-. The bottom is a deep bed of black tena- 

 cious mud, covered with grass. 



Mr. Adams' specimens are from a somewhat similar 

 locality. Figure 3 is from an Illinois specimen; 5 from a 

 Vermont shell; whilst 9 represents 'L. umbilicata.'
