Not illustrated. 1885 Excerpt: ...Planorbis, It is a matter of grave doubt whether such a division of American forms has any substantial basis of fact. The specimens submitted and herein reported upon allow the species to stand without mark of doubt. Genus LIMNOPHYSA. Eiimnophyra eataseoplum, Say.--Oswego (NewlonJ. Llmnophysa reflexa, Say.--Arkansas Valley at Wichita (Mead). These were very poor specimens, but the largest yet received from any portion of the State. Genus Physa. Physa anatlna, Lea.--Wabaunsee Co. (Miss L. A. Baldwin); Beno Centre, (D. H. Piatt and L. A. O'Hara); Kansas Biver and Silver Lake (Quintard). P. awtt'ma was originally collected by Maj. F. Hawn, in a "northern tributary of the Arkansas Biver, ' and described by Dr. Lea in Proc Acad. Nat Sci., Phila., 18b'4, p. 115; also in Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 2d Series, Vol. VI, p. 171, pi. XXIV, fig. 94. It is very close to Physa hawnii, Lea, which was collected by the same gentleman in the Verdigris Biver, Kansas. A critical revision of the American forms is needed, when, as the facts seem to indicate, both these forms will fall into the synonymy of the ubiquitous and exceedingly-variable Physa heterostropha, Say. Physa gyrina, Say.--Cedar Creek. Mt. Ida (Snow); Ellis (Watson); Barber Co. (Cragin); Labitte Co. at Oswego (Newlon); Wichita (Mead). From the last locality came specimens of the var. hildrethiana, which was raised to specific rank by Dr. Lea. No sufficient data have been observed to justify the retention of the latter as a species, and it is here ranked as a variety under the species gyrina. This and /-. heterostropha will include most of the American so-called species. Physa hawnii, Lea.--Cedar Creek at Mt. Ida (Snow); Labette Co. at Oswego (Newlon); a, pool at Arkansas City (Cragin); Shawnee Co. (Quinta...
