There seems to be some uncertainty as to the proper name to be used 

 for this species. Say described his edentulus in 1829. Swainson had al- 

 ready in 1822 described his Anodon rugosus from the "'United States." Lea 

 (Obs., I, p. 39) says that "it is well known" that Swainson's rugosus is the 

 adult of Say's undulata, which has priority. Simpson, who considers nn- 

 didatus and edentidiis distinct, for some unexplained reason includes Swain- 

 son's species under edentidiis as a synonym. Dall (32, p. 127) "on the face 

 of the returns" gives the species to Swainson. I have not been able to ex- 

 amine Swainson's description and figure myself. Ortmann (78, p. 118) 

 unites both species under the prior name of undulatus. If this is correct, 

 the exact identity of Swainson's species becomes immaterial. Otherv/ise 

 his description and figure should be critically examined again to determine, 

 if possible, to which species it belongs. 



Strophitus eduntulus sh^^fferianus (Lea). 



This seems to be a well marked race characteristic of the Tennessee 

 drainage and as such entitled to varietal rank.

 back (135, p. 260).
