38 TRANSACTIONS OF THE WAGNER FREE 



The next morning, with a favorable wind, we made the connecting 

 passage in less than two hours. The waters of the canal teemed with 

 alligators, and we also observed several turtles sunning on the bank. 

 At the west end of the canal we obtained specimens of Ampullaria 

 dcprcssa, Limnea cohiniclla, Pliysa gyrina, and Spluzrhtin stamineum, 

 and also a variety of freshwater shrimp ; and at the eastern extremity 

 Unio Buckleyi, U. ainygdaliiin, and Paludina lincata. The last two, in 

 addition to Ampullaria, were also brought up by the dredge from about 

 its "middle course.
