152 PHYSA. 
30. PHYSA POMILIA, Conrad. 
Plate 8, fig. 9. 
Physa Showalterii, Lea. Plate 8, fig. 10. 
Shell somewhat fusiform, rather inflated, 
semi-transparent, rather thin, pale horn-color ; 
spire somewhat produced, pointed at the apex ; 
sutures very much impressed; whorls five, 
convex, the last one large; aperture large, 
elliptical; outer lip regularly expanded, 
thickened and saffron-color under the margin ; 
columella much impressed and thickened in 
the middle, twisted and furnished with a fold. 
Length 12, diam. 6:5 mill. 
Uniontown and Claiborne, Ala. 
The above is a copy of Mr. Lea’s description, 
which is much more satisfactory than the 
meagre one published by Mr. Conrad thirty 
years before it. Mr. Conrad’s type specimen 
agrees very well with the description, figure 
and specimens of P. Showalterii.
