PLANORBIS CORPULENTUS. 19 



vicinity of New Orleans: "South Carolina." 

 Dr. R. E. Griffith. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



Distinguished from P. trivolvis, var. fallax, 

 by its greater size and density, the stronger de- 

 velopment of the upper carina, and of the lines 

 of accretion; the more open umbilic above, and 

 narrower and deeper excavation of the left side; 

 the shape of the aperture, the curvature of the 

 striae; and finally, by the greater constancy and 

 extent of the deflexion of the last turn, to the 

 left of the obverse plane of the shell.
