DESCRIPTION OF A NEW LYMNAEA. 



BY F. C. BAKER. 



Ltmn^ea emarginata wisconsinensis nov. var. 



lAmnoea ampla Wliiteaves (not Mighels), Can. Nat. and GeoL, 

 VIII, pp. 102, 112, fig. 11, 1863 — Taylor, Ottawa Nat., VI, p. 35, 

 1892. 



Shell very large, varying from elongate to globose, inflated, usu- 

 ally rather thin ; periostracum varying from light yellowish horn to 

 chestnut ; nuclear whorls as in emarginata; sculpture as in emargin- 

 ata; many specimens have, in addition to the spiral impressed lines, 

 a number of heavy, more or less equidistant, spiral ridges encircling 

 the body whorl ; the last whorl may also be somewhat malleated ; 

 whorls 5 to 51; globose, roundly shouldered, inflated, the body whorl 

 very globose and disproportionately swollen ; spire varying from 

 broadly acute to flatly depressed, usually about half the length of the 

 entire shell ; suture well marked, often deeply impressed; aperture 

 roundly-ovate, rarely quadrate, seldom flaring ; peristome with in- 

 ternal, varical thickening; inner lip wide, whitish, broadly reflected 

 over the umbilical region producing a wide, flat expansion, which 

 emarginates the umbilical chink, as in the typical form ; umbilical 

 chink usually very large and conspicuous ; imperforate individuals 

 are rare; the parietal callus is thick and wide producing a continu- 

 ous aperture in some specimens ; the lower part of the aperture is 

 somewhat eflfuse in a few individuals.
