52 AMNICOLA. 
2. AMNICOLA LIMOSA, Say. 
‘Hald., p. 10, t. 1, figs. 1, 5, 6? 
Plate 17, fig. 1 (A. Schrékingeri, Fr.) 
Plate 17, fig. 2 (A. parva, Lea). 
Plate 17, fig. 3 (A. orbiculata, Lea). 
Extends from British America to Virginia, 
and westward to Iowa. In the middle Atlan- 
tie States it is the most numerous in specimens 
of any species of the genus. 
As stated above, it is doubtful whether 
Haldeman’s figure 6 should be applied to this 
species, even figure 5 being broader than the 
average of specimens, which is better repre- 
sented by my fig. 1, which Frauenfeld has un- 
fortunately described as distinct, being misled 
probably by Haldeman’s illustrations. 
Neither of Mr. Lea’s species differ from 
usual forms of limosa.
