20 AMNICOLA SAYANA. 



DESCRIPTION. 



SHELL lengthened, conic, composed of 6 very 

 convex shining whirls; suture strongly impress- 

 ed; lines of growth very fine; base with a nar- 

 row umbilic: aperture suborbicular; the labium 

 slightly flattened, a small portion of it in con- 

 tact with the body whirl. 



COLOR bright yellowish-brown, translucent. 



GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. Inhabits south- 

 western Ohio. 



HABITS. "It is found on wet earth and roots 

 of trees on the margin of a small stream near 

 Cincinnati." Lea. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



This handsome species was sent to me by 

 Mr. Anthony, under the proposed specific name 

 sayana, which I have adopted. In habit it ap- 

 pears to agree with lapidaria, a species which 

 Say's description justifies us in referring to the 

 genus Amnicola.
