In 1836 Dr. Isaac Lea published a Synopsis of the Family of Nai- ades, which was followed by a second edition in 1838, a third in 1852, and a fourth in 1870. In this work Dr. Lea did not attempt to make any systematic classification, but divided the species into two great genera, Margaron and Platiris, and subdivided these genera into sub- genera, and finally into smaller groups founded on the presence or absence of a dorsal wing, and on the form and sculpture of the shell. This arrangement was regarded by Dr. Lea as merely a temporary one, to be used until a knowledge of the soft parts could be obtained, on which to base a permanent classification. Several other attempts at a classification of the Xaiades have been made, and among these is that of Swainson in 1840, who believed that the whole family formed a circular group, that by beginning at a cer- tain point in it the species or genera would be found closely related to others, and these to others still, and that by following up the chain of relationships one would be brought back to the place of starting. My studies have not borne out Swainsoirs conclusions, but I have adopted two of his divisions of the Unionida?, the subfamilies Uniouiune and Hyrianae. His subfamilies Anodontinre and Alasmodontina? have no value, and the subfamily Iridina' belongs in the family Mutelida'. In 1847 Gray gave a classification of the Xaiades in his List of Recent Genera, in which he divided them into three families: Unionida', with the genera Anodonta, Maryaritana, Monocondylcea, Unio, Barbala, Lam- proscaplia, Anodonta, Byssanodonta, and Glabaris; Mutelida- with Mutela, Leila, Pleiodon, Paxyodon and Prisodon, aud Mycetopodidre, with the genus Mycetopus. Troschel, in 1847, proposed a classification in which the genera were founded on anatomical characters, and though for lack of knowledge PROCEEDINGS U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM, VOL. XXII, No. 1205. 502 PROCEEIUXHX i>r mi: x.trfox.iL MTSKTM. V..L.XXH. he was led into several serious errors, his work lias proved an important aid in classification. H. and A. Adams followed with a classification in 1S57, in which they recognized the families Unionida' and Mutelida-, dividing the former into two subfamilies, Unionime and Mycetopina-, and giving a list of the then known species. Agassiz, in 1852, published a classification of the Xorth American Unionid;e, based more especially ou the anatomy, but much of his work was hasty and careless, and as a result his groups are, for the most part, heterogeneous assemblages of unrelated species. In 181)3, von Ihering published his Najaden von San Paulo, in which he showed that while certain of the Naiades began their existence on hatching from the egg as a glochin, with a bivalve shell capable of containing the soft parts, others developed into a J«*ire«k cctrities, while the latter have longer, lighter shells, which have shallow heal; caritiea. In Anodotitd edentula the ovisacs are short and run across the gills; in the very similar looking A. fentssaciana the outer gills are filled with oblique ovisacs, and the inner have (at least in some cases) more or less ovules. The beak sculpture of these two species is very different. From the earliest period in which the Xaiades have been studied to the present time it has been claimed by some that the sexes were sepa- rate, by others that the animals were hermaphroditic. Keceut careful studies by such men as Sterki, Taylor, Kelly, and others appear to demonstrate that in the more highly organized Fnionida' (those which have two forms of shells, and have the ovisacs in the hinder part of the outer gills) the sexes are always separate. In the more simply organized Unionida* (those with but one form of shell and with the embryos occupying the entire gill) the sexes may or may not be separate. Further study has shown me that the provinces established in the paper I have quoted hold good as there laid down. There is evi- dently a very close relationship between many of the unionoid forms of southeastern Asia and tropical Africa. So close is this relation that the two regions might be united if it were not for the fact that a large U. 8. NATIONAL MUSEUM 160 140 120 100 80 , 6O 40 MAP SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION PROCEEDINGS, VOL.

I have hesitated long before placing a considerable number of the species of Southeastern Asia in and near North American genera. I had hoped to be able to examine the soft parts of a number of these Oriental forms, but have been disappointed, and as nothing is known of the anatomy of most of them I have been compelled to classify by shell characters alone. It is certain that the beak sculpture of a large num- ber of Naiades of this area is essentially concentric, and not zigzag radial, as it is in most of the forms of the Oriental region. The shell characters of the ponderous Chinese Uniones are certainly much like those of Quadmln, in the form, the teeth, the beak sculpture, and especially the deep, compressed beak cavities. A great number of fossil forms from the Tertiary strata of Asia and Eastern Europe seem to show the closest relationship to the American Quadrulas. Hyr tops-is, Cristaria, Chamberlainia, and Pilsbryoconcha seem to be related by shell characters to the alate forms of Lamps-ills, and even the strange Pseudospatha of Africa would appear to belong here. I recognize about one thousand species and 82 varieties of Uuionidre, having reduced to the synonymy a great many names that most authors have believed to stand for valid species. Of these, 533 species and 55 varieties belong in North America and 101 in South America. The list contains 117 species of Mntelidne and 11 varieties, and of these 80 1 For map of Naiad Regions see plate. 506 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL species are South American.

Total: 61 genera of Uuiouida? ; 11 genera of Mutelid;i\ I am inclined to believe with von Ihering that the primitive beak sculpture of the Uniouid;e was radial, aud in two species of Uniosfrom what are believed to be Triassic or Permian strata of the Staked Plains of Texas,1 which are probably the oldest forms known, the beaks clearly show strictly radial sculpture. Four other species from the same lot are not in condition to exhibit this character. Xow I take this to belong to the simplest, earliest, and most lowly organixed form of uiiionoid life. 1 believe that the earlier Uuios had the young contained in the inner branehije alone, that there has been a gradual development from these primitive forms with simple, dull- colored, smooth shells, those of the male and female being alike, with radially sculptured beaks, the Endobranehs, up to the highest forms of to day, with concentric, doubly looped beak sculpture, with highly painted shells, in which those of the male and female are very different, with the young contained in distinctly marked ovisacs in the hinder part of the outer gills ;ilone, the JBxobrancks. The data for following these developments and the migrations of the Naiades are meager so far as fossil material is concerned. But, fortu- nately, while among the higher orders of life genera and even families appear, develop, grow old, and become extinct in a single geological age, the Unionidre have held on unbroken from the Triassic or prob- ably an earlier geological age until now, and while there has been slow progress in the development of higher characters the primitive forms have not died out. I know of no important type of the family among the fossil species that may not be found somewhere to-day among the living ones. They seem to have migrated to a certain region, made a slight advance over the characters of their predecessors, and to have continued down with but little change until to-day. When a new migration was made the same thing was enacted again. If the Unionidie originated in ^orth America during the Triassic or some earlier period we may suppose that some members of the family migrated into South America during that or at a later period. All the species of that family in South America have radial beak sculpture (except Callonaia and Prisodon, in which the beaks seem to be smooth), and the young are contained hi the inner gills alone, so far as we know. In some cases this sculpture is strictly radial; more often we find the central or all the bars curving a little toward each other below, and one or two of the middle pairs coalescing, the first move toward concen- tric beak sculpture. By an old, now partly submerged land bridge in the Antarctic region it is probable that a migration took place from South 1 Proc. I'. S. Nat. Mus., XVIII, 1896, pp. 381-385. 508 PROCEEDINGS OF THE X.iTTOXAL J/T/W.V. America to New Zealand and Australia, and slight changes in the way of progress are shown there. The beak sculpture is still radial, but the bars are decidedly curved toward each other below; they become slightly broken or nodulous, and each set is generally removed from the other a little, so that a space in the middle of the young shell is smooth. The young are contained in the inner gills, though Suter reports a few in the outer gills of one or two species and in all these Southern Hemi- sphere forms the shell has a dull color, and is nearly or quite rayless. Another migration took place to Southeastern Asia, and from there there was another to tropical Africa, possibly from Southern India over an old but now lost laudway. In the forms of this region the beak sculpture becomes irregularly and variously zigzag radial, the surface is nodulous in many cases, and the shell is often bright colored and painted. Some of the recent species, such as I'nio crtepisulcatm, show nearly strict radial sculpture all over the shells: others which I have placed in the genus Lamelliflens have almost such sculpture as is seen in the beaks of the Australian forms. In others the sculpture becomes slightly nodulous. Seasoning from analogy, and the few gravid specimens I have examined of these forms with the zigzagged beak sculpture, I presume that they all carry the young in the inner gills, though it is quite probable that some of them may have them in all four gills, and this would be a step in an upward direction. Some of these Asiatic and African forms with zigzag sculpture are quite short, inflated, and solid, and, in general, show characters strongly allied to those of our heavy Mississippi Valley forms (the latter of which I place in (\hiaflrnla}, the various members of the genus FurreyN'm, for example. It is quite probable that from such forms the genus (jn<«]nila sprung; that it developed in Asiatic streams, where it still seems to be repre- sented. In the Tertiary strata of eastern Europe and in parts of Asia this genus seems to be abundantly represented. It is a little dif- ficult to say from some of the living Asiatic forms whether the beak sculpture should be called sharply, doubly looped, or zigzag radial, and the same thing may almost be said of some of our Xorth American forms. There probably existed at that period an old land way across from northeastern Asia to northwestern North America, and one which lasted a long time, or it may have been submerged and then reappeared again, for through long ages this has apparently been a highway for migrating UnionicLe. I think it not unlikely that the immediate progeni- tors of the magnificent and diversified series of Uniones found fossil in the Laramie beds came over from Asia among the earlier migrations; for it is a significant fact that among the Uniones of the Laramie for- mation in the United States we have a number of species which in general^ form closely resemble these recent Asiatic Parreysias, and that their beak sculpture is decidedly zigzag radial, just as it is to-day in these oriental forms. Associated with these Laramie species are others in 1 NO. 1205. SYXOI'Xr* OF THE NAIADES— SIMPSON. 509 which the beak sculpture is somewhat concentric and of a peculiar pattern seldom found among living- Uniones, the ridges being nearly straight below and sharply pointed behind in a chevron-shaped pattern. I take it that the next step of progress WHS the development of the genus Plcurobcma, or forms which are nearly allied to it; though the strange, smooth, elongated, wedge-shaped Vuneopsi.s, with its remarka- bly deep beak cavities and often distorted shells, and the curious ttibboxula seem like Quadrulas making an effort to shape their shells something like those of Unio. In Pleurobcma the shell is solid and rather triangular, the beaks are high and typically well forward, the beak sculpture is broken, but most nearly concentric,' the beak cavities are shallow, and the young occupy only the outer branchiae. There are great numbers of species I should refer to this or closely allied genera in the oriental tertiaries, and many of them are knobbed. To day the genus is confined to the Mississippi Valley and the northern drainage of the Gulf of Mexico, and all the species are smooth except P. «'H<>])UN and P. raricoxa, which I place in the genus with some hesitation. This genus has an immense development in the waters of the Ten- nessee drainage, becoming less abundant as we advance northward, until in the Ohio Eiver and its tributaries only three species are found, Plenrobemtt clora Lamarck, /'. caricosa Lea, and P. a'sopus Green. In the Tennessee and Cumberland systems all the species except the two last mentioned belong to the group typified by P. clava. In the Ala- bama liiver drainage and a few adjacent streams emptying into the Gulf there is a great development of this genus, but none of the species belong to the clava group. Now, if the genus migrated into the Ten- nessee system from the northwest, and it seems quite probable that it did, its presence in the Alabama River system would seem to prove the theory entertained by some geologists that the Tennessee formerly emptied into the Gulf, flowing down into what is now the Coosa Eiver and into the Alabama. Additional proof of this is found in the fact that quite a number of the common Mississippi Valley species, such as Uuio tiilatnv Barnes, IT. rectus Lamarck, U. trigoiius Lea, I'. anoiloHtuidt'x Lea, U. ebenux Lea, and others are met with in the Tennessee, the Coosa, and the Alabama liiver systems, and Unio con- r adieu a and U. cumberlandianus, Tennessee liiver forms, occur in the Alabama system. That this southern outflow of the Tennessee ceased a long time ago is shown by the fact that in the Alabama drainage all the northern species of Unioues have a peculiar aspect, and several entire groups of Pleurobema have developed, which are distinct from anything found in the Tennessee. It is probable that the trueUnios and their allies were next developed, with simple oval to elongated shells, and moderate beaks showing quite a variety of sculpture. It is generally concentric, being inclined to follow the growth lines, but sometimes the ridges are broken, and again they are somewhat doubly looped. The young occupy the outer 510 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL gills only, forming a pad-like marsupium. The genus is now found throughout a large part of the Palearctic region and North America generally, excepting the Pacific drainage. The Unios of what seems to be the Gibbosus group are abundant in the Tertiary of eastern Europe. Unio dorihii from Kouinauia is almost exactly like U.gibbosus, a recent species of the Mississippi Valley, and there were species no doubt closely allied in the Tertiary of the western United States. There were forms in Eastern Europe which seemed to connect Tnio and Pleurobema, some of which were like P. clava and formed a connecting link with Qimdrulti. There were Quadrulas showing relationship with our (L>. triyona, rubl- f/inosa, pustulosa, pyramidaia, and other forms. Psilunio craviorensis looks much like our Pleurobema wsopus and there are other striking examples of old forms resembling recent ones. Xow, in Quadruldi Tnio, Alasmidonta, and some of the other allied genera we not unfrequeutly see species or specimens which have the ordinary concentric or doubly looped beak sculpture, and in addition to this a number of fine, regularly radiating ridges in front or behind, or sometimes at each end of the ordinary sculpture, an atavistic develop- ment, probably. In some groups this character is quite constant; in others it is only occasionally seen. I have never noticed it in any of the higher genera in which the male and female shells are different. Up to this point the male and female shells had been essentially alike, and the ovisacks were not distinctly outlined, but formed smooth pads, the marsupium occupying practically the whole gill. In the American waters probably, a great change now began to take place in some of the Unionida?. The ovisacs of many forms became distinctly marked out by a deep sulcus; a constriction developed in some instances around near the base of the marsupium, inside and out, so that the lower end of the ovisacs resembled little bulbs, and these were often filled with pigment of a different color from the rest of the ovisac. Ptychobran- chus, with its folded marsupium, may have developed from Unio; Cyprogenia and Obliquaria, with their narrow central marsupia, and DromuSjin which it is hung all around the outer gills in short, distinct ovisacs, would seem to have descended from Quadrula by their shell characters. I nail of these the shells of males and females are essentially alike. In Medionidus there is sometimes quite a well-marked -swelling at the central or post-basal part of the female shell which is absent in the male, but sometimes it is impossible to separate the shells of the two sexes. The marsupium consists of irregular ovisacs just behind or almost at the center of the outer gills. In the strange Tritoyonia the female shell differs remarkably from that of the male, having developed a broad, posterior wing, filled with a flap of the mantle, while that of the male is swollen, and truncate behind. . Of the marsupia of this strange form I know nothing. Oboraria, with short, solid, full shells, sometimes having a slight post-basal inflation in those of the female, and Plaf/iola, with triangular shells, often showing the distinction between male and female, recall to some extent Quadrula in shell char- acters, but have the marsupia in the hinder part of the outer gills alone. The ovisacs are distinct, and there is a sulcus below, and this NO. 1205. SYNOPSIS OF THE NAIADES— SIMPSON. 511 is the highest type of a branchial uterus. Lampsilis is a step farther on, with oval to elongated shells, generally highly colored, with, as a rule, a decided post-basal swelling of that of the female, without (in most cases) a strong post ridge, and the beak sculpture consists of rather numerous, delicate bars, arranged in two distinct (anterior and posterior) loops. Throughout the entire Mississippi Valley, a portion of the Atlantic drainage, in most of the streams flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, in east- ern Mexico, and Central America there is found^au extensive group of Uniones for which I have used the name Proptera of Rafinesque. Nearly all the shells are more or less dor sally winged, the beak sculpture is feeble, the epidermis is dull, the teeth are often imperfect, and they have a row of dorsal scars running obliquely downward and forward. The nacre generally is some shade of purple, and though the female shell may show a decided post inflation, it may be wanting. The ovisacs are usually fine and numerous, and are placed in the posterior ends of the outer gills. I have given this group subgeneric rank under Lamp- sills. Now, it would seem probable that North America was the field in which these remarkable developments in the character of the TJuioii- ida- had taken place, for I know of no fossil species elsewhere showing any of these higher characters. If, as I have elsewhere suggested, there is a relationship between Proptera and the Cristarias, Hyriopsis, Pilsbryoconclia, Chamlerlainia, and Pseudospatha of the Old World, then I should think it likely they, or their progenitors, had migrated thence from North America some time during the early or middle ter- tiaries. It is possible that the Cristarias, Hyriopsis. and the like, or closely related but now extinct groups, may have originated in ori- ental waters, and that the Propteras, and the typical LampsiUs, may be their offspring. Truncilla marks the highest development of Naiad life, and may be taken to be the latest. Its shells are smooth and generally highly painted, the beak sculpture is fine and doubly looped, the hinge teeth are well developed. The post-basal area is very distinctly marked out and developed in the female. In most cases the shell of this part in the female is thin, of a different texture from the rest, often radially ridged, and decidedly toothed on its edge. There is usually a surpris- ing difference in the shape of the shells of male and female aside from this, si) much so that one would never suppose that they belonged to the same species, unless he traced the growth back to the young shells, which are quite alike in the different sexes. The marsupium is like a large kidney, very full, and totally different in appearance when gravid from the rest of the gill. It appears to be protected by a great flap which grows out from the mantle covering it, which is here double. The genus exhibits a great variety of form, so much so that several good subgeneric groups seem well marked out, and we must believe it has been in existence for some time. Much of the foregoing may be mere conjecture; much is undoubt- edly founded on fact. I believe that the living forms of the Uuiouidse show a gradual development from the simplest, lowest, and earliest 512 I'i;<>CEi;i>f\<;X OF THE X.lTfOX.lL .1/r.v^r.V. VOL.XXII. types up to the highest, most recent, and most complicated, and stand as a sort of index to the progress of the family in the past. I have not be«n able to study the Mutelida1 as carefully as 1 have the Unionida'. All the species are foreign, and while I have seen the soft parts of a few South American for-ns, I have never had the opportunity to examine the anatomy of a single African species. I have not been able, from what knowledge I have obtained, to discover any consider- able anatomical or conchological differences between the Mutelid genera of Africa and South 'America which might be used to separate the family into subfamilies. I have treated the families of the Unionida- and Mutelida? together in this work because they have both been classed as Xaiades. But the remarkable differences in the embryos, that of the former family being a glochidium with a bivalve shell inclosing the soft parts, and that of the latter a lasidium divided into three segments with a single shell on its middle section, and the shells of the one family having schi/o- dont teeth, while those of the other have taxodout teeth, seem to show that the two great groups are not very nearly related. In studyingthe Naiades I have been greatly perplexed on accountof the unsatisfactory and confused condition of much of the literature. Earlyin this century Bafinesque collected the Unionida' extensively in Kentucky and published a large number of genera, minor groups, and species. It is probable that there will always be differences of opinion with regard to his work, just as there have been in the past. His figures are more like those made by children, or the caricatures drawn by aboriginal tribes, than the creations of an intelligent naturalist, and the descrip- tions are too brief in many cases to give any clear idea of the species. The work in the continuation of his monograph is even worse than that in the body of the paper, and tribes, genera, and subgenera are mingled in bewildering confusion, and all these are placed under two great genera. It is impossible in many cases to tell what his meaning is. I have care- fully gone over his so-called types in the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, making notes and sketches, and stating the names by which they are commonly known. Four times, separated by long intervals, I have studied his original descriptions, with specimens of the same species as these so-called types, in an attempt to determine his species, each time writing down my conclusions, and I believe that quite a number of his species will have to stand. There can be no doubt whatever that many of his so-called types are not types at all, as they do not fit the descriptions by any stretch of imagination. In applying generic, subgeneric, and sectional names I have used those which have been previously applied wherever it has been possible to do so by the process of elimination, in order that no claim of priority might be urged for them. A most unfortunate dispute arose among our earlier couchologists in regard to priority of names, one in which a great deal of ill feeling was displayed. I have endeavored wherever it was possible to ascer- tain the exact date of publication of these disputed names and to credit the species to the earliest described. In some cases it has been N0.12C5. SYNOPSIS OF THE NAIADES— SIMPSON. 513 impossible to tell which of two names appeared first, and in such cases I have nsed that which seemed to be best known. Many of the species of Lamarck stand on about the same foundation as those of Rafinesque, having only a brietf description and no fig- ures. Dr. Lea on at least two occasions went over the types of most of Lamarck's species and has published his conclusions in the Obser- vations, and I am obliged to abide by his decisions, never having seen the types myself. One of the most perplexing problems has been the work done by European conchologists, and especially by the so-called new school of France. Previous to 1870, the date of issuance of Lea's last edition of the synopsis, thousands of names had been applied to the few species of Europe. But this work was conservative and reasonable compared with that of the new school since then. I have devoted much time and study to this fauna and its literature. To me it seems that there are not more than eighteen or twenty species of Unionid;e found in Europe, judging by the same standards I have applied to species elsewhere. Nearly all the authors seem to be more or less at sea as to certain forms of this area, and the reasons for this are probably their want of striking characters and their extreme variability. Unio picto- rwm, tumidus, elongatulus, and platyrhynchoideus have been often taken for each other. Margaritana margaritifera has repeatedly been mis- taken for the very similar looking M. crassa, and each of these has been hopelessly confused with Unio batavus. * I have endeavored to consider names applied before 1870 in my synonymy. I have made no effort to do this with those applied by authors to the forms of Europe since that time, as I do not believe that any new species of Unio, Margaritana, Anodonta, or Leguminaia have been found there in the last thirty years. The genus Colleioptenim (1881) is a doubtful one and is very likely only an mutation of the excessively variable Anodonta cygnca. In 1892 Arnould Locard, one of the great lights of the new school, stated that there were 208 species of Unios and 250 Anodoutas in France alone.1 Life is too short and valuable to be wasted in any attempt at deciphering such nonsense, and I have not even cumbered the pages of this work with a list of these new species. Those interested can find them in the works of Westerlund and Kobelt. In cases where the new school has worked on the fauna of Africa or Asia, I have done the best I could to straighten out the synonymy. 1 have not attempted to make any analytical key to genera and other groups, because I do not believe that it is possible to construct a key that will be of any real service to the student. At least four-fifths of the shells of the Xaiades have the beaks so eroded that it is impossible to form any idea of what their sculpture is like, and the soft parts are inaccessible to the average student and collector. These are both vital characters that must be used in classification. The general arrange- ment of the groups down to genera is shown in the following table : 1 Aim. Soc. Ag. Hist. Nat.

Dr. Lea is inclined to this opinion iu a footnote on p. 118 of the Transactions. : Conrad refers this species to Rafinesque. From the latter author's figure and description of Lampailia cardium it is evident that it is a member of the ventricosus group, but whether it is the U. rentricosus of Barnes, the U. capax of Green, or some other species, I am unable to determine. Conrad and some other authors believe it to be Barnes's species. «The type in the Philadelphia Academy is a young U. ventricosus. 6 The type is a diseased individual, and is probably a compressed male rentricosua. 6 1 believe this to be merely a rather delicate, dark-colored variety of ventricosus, which inhabits the southwestern part of the Mississippi drainage. 528 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

He •tates that while it is probably excavatus it is not certainly so, and he does not think it wise to displace Lea's properly described and figured species for it. 2 Lea's name was preoccupied by Valenciennes (Encyc. Meth., II, 1827, p. 151, pi. CCXLVIII, fig. 5) for what is probably U. radiatus. I change it to binominatus. 3 The first edition of Nicholson's Encyclopedia is dated 1816, fide W. G. Binney, Bib. N.

Since then I have seen additional material which seems to be a connecting link between it and L. brericttlus. I can not be certain as to the relationships of this form, which seems on the one hand to have characters belonging to the typical section of Lamp- silis and on the other to be related to L. spatulatits and L. pleasi. '2The systematic position of this species is a little uncertain. In the form of the shell and the teeth it seems to belong in the Ventricosu* group, but the texture and broken rays apparently ally it to the Ligamentinu* group. The soft parts agree best with those of members of the former assemblage, so I place it here. 3I do not know what this is, nor where it belongs, but it is certainly not a true Anodonta. The shell, according to Conrad's figure, is rayed throughout, and looks very much like a young U.ventricosus. He says that it has a callus resembling an incipient tooth; that it inhabits the Black Warrior River, and that it is very rare. It is just possible that it is related to some of the so-called Margaritanas of the Southern States, such as M. spillmani, but I think it more likely some young form of the I'r.iiirint8nn group in which the hinge has been injured. I place it here with the greatest hesitation. 534 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL U USE I'M.

This form is often desti- tute of the fine tinting of the nacre, and sometimes becomes quite dark, even bronzy or- brownish black. It is common in the lakes of the St. Lawrence drainage. -This and L. borealis A. F. Gray are doubtful species which seem to stand between L. luteolus and radiatus. This form is nearer Juteolun, while Gray's species approaches more nearly to radiatus. '•> In Latchford's Notes on Ottawa 1'nionidui. 536 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIOXAI.

It is probably an aberrant form, closely related to L. orbiculatus. The females are more inflated in the postbasal region than in any other member of the group. 3I have seen only one specimen of this, the type, which in an exceedingly puzzling form. The hinge line is injured and curves in strongly in front of the beaks, where there is a large, irregular liimile. and the pscudoeardiuuls are compressed. It may be a young, diseased orbiculatua. NO.

Tennessee and Cumberland river systems. 1 Lea places this species in the synonymy of his Unio interruptus, in the Synopsis. The latter was not published until 1838. 8The type is an old female tceniatus, very solid, and but slightly rayed. 3Lea states in the above citation that this species has radial beak sculpture. The beaks of his type are slightly eroded, having the appearance of somewhat rayed ridges, and I have seen the same thing in the eroded beaks of Unio rotundatus Lamarck, but it is not true beak sculpture. Many Unios when decomposing exhibit throughout their shells a somewhat radial structure, and that is what is shown in this case. 542 nuH'EKi>is<:s <>r THE \.ITHL\AJ. .w.wj/.

In general, it has a rather more cylindrical shell, less rayed, and more decidedly and suddenly thickened in trout than iris, but there are intermediate forms. '-After carefully comparing again and again large series of specimens, I confess that I can not possibly separate the large number of so-called species I have united under this, the oldest name. It may seem a little strange that a species should be found in the Ohio River area and Gulf drainage, but recent research has proven that a large number of our common Upper Mississippi Valley and Ohio River forms are found in the Coosa, Alabama, Black Warrior, and adjoining streams. There is some variation in the brightness of the painting of a number of these so-called species, and in the form of diiferent specimens, but no more than is found in many other abundant, widely-distributed forms, and the figure on pi. in of the New Fresh-water Shells fairly well represents tlio general manifestation of the males of this species. 554 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

Speci- mens that he gave Dr. Lea, which are credited to him from the Santee canal in pencil on the shells, are undoubtedly modionformis. Other specimens from another locality, which Lea has put with these, and has called Unio tenerus Ravenel, are undoubtedly L. prevostianu* Lea. It was these latter specimens which caused me to be mistaken in the identity of Unio tenerus in my paper in Proceedings of the United States National Museum, XV, p. 416. 2One lot in the Academy of Sciences is the same as the exiguus of Lea, another is the same as Lea's nashvillianus.

" This seems to be equivalent to a male subellipsis of Lea, of a little more solid, evenly oval or elliptical form than the type. I do not think it worthy of a varietal name, as there is every possible gradation between these shells. I formerly placed exiguus, rutilans, and siibellipsis in the synonymy of modioliformis (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XV, 1892, p. 414), and in a young state they seem to be exactly alike, as a gen- eral thing; but the examination of a large amount of additional material since then has led ine to believe that the latter may perhaps be distinct. 3 Probably a young specimen, rather wide at the posterior end. 4 A smaller, shorter, fragile form, generally having a rather dark epidermis, and purplish nacre. It is a southern variety, and gradually merges into the type in the Chattahoochoo region. NO. 1205. 8YXOPS1S OF THK .V.I r.lDES— SIMPSON. 561 tLAMPSILIS DISPAR Lea. * Unio dispar LEA, Pr. Ac. X. Sci.

The beaks of specimens I have examined were badly eroded. - Erroneously spelled Corimculina. "•Occasionally there is a vestige of a posterior loop, and I have seen it perfectly developed, especially in specimens of L. haleianm. The beak sculpture of this group is remarkably like that of the Tetralaamits group of Unio, though the two assem- blages are not at all closely related. 'A rather delicate variety, but I hardly think worthy of a varietal name. The species varies from being quite slender to short, wide, and inflated. 564 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. t * Unio bealei LEA, Pr. Ac. N. Sci. Phila., VI, 1862. p. 169; * Jl. Ac. N. Sci.

Alexandria, Louisiana; eastern Texas. 1 A remarkably compressed elevated form from southwest Texas may bear this name. 2 Barnes's outline shows a small shell, erenly rounded posteriorly. I believe that this character of being rounded behind is constant, and is the only one by which it always differs from its near ally, L. texasensis, which is more sharp behind and usually obliquely truncate at the post-base. The two species have been continually con- founded, and even Dr. Lea has placed in his collection under the name parvus a number of specimens which I am sure are his texasensis. The former is generally the smaller of the two, though not always, as in northern Illinois it sometimes reaches a length of 2 inches. L. texasensis undoubtedly ranges north into northern Missouri, southern Illinois and Indiana, and the true parvus is occasionally found well down into Texas. 3 This is often confounded with L. texasensis. It is a larger, thinner-shelled form, and is not so decidedly truncate at the post-basal region. NO. 1205. syyors/s or Tin: \M.\DES— siurxox. 565 tLAMPSILIS GLANS Lea. * Uniofjlans LKA, Tr. Am. Phil.

More recent study, with a large amount of additional material, inclines me to think that perhaps they may be valid species. Under the name of I'nio rowellii Mr. Lea has in his collection two large N. macneilii, one large roicellii, three smaller ones and several valves, and two goascor anemia, a species which is very close to the rest, but probably as good as most of the Mexican forms. I find specimens which I can scarcely refer with certainty to macnielil or oregonensis, but which seem to have to some extent the characters of both. This, with a number of the Mexican and Central American forms, is exceedingly pu/xling. This species occurs with N. rowellii and macnielii. NO. 1205.

Unfortunately both species were described in Latin and not figured, but Dunker states that his species is inflated posteriorly and has a bluish nacre, and it is probable that he had before him a female shell when he wrote the description, for one of the Cuban species, which I think is gundlachi, has a bluish nacre, and the female shell is decidedly swollen at the post-basal region. In another form, which I presume is N. scamnatus of Morelet, the nacre is rather dark, the shell somewhat elongated, and that of the female does not greatly differ from the male. 2 1 am not positive that this species belongs here, but its form is like that of most of the members of the genus, and Crosse and Fischer state that the beaks in their specimen are entire and smooth. In several of the species of this genus the beak sculpture is very faint, while in Unio it is almost always strong. These considerations lead me to place the species here. 596 I'llOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.XXII.

Mexico; Honduras; Cuba? 1 Probably a mere variety of ceruginosus. 2 Kuster credits this species to Australia and says that it has a purple nacre. The nacre of all the Australiau species is whitish, and the shell is evidently a member of this group. 3 This and the related species are extremely puzzling. Although I have been able to examine a good deal of material, yet 1 find great variation in the specimens, and few of them acurately agree with the figures and descriptions. ••Fischer and Crosse believe this to be Morelet's species. It looks like a short ciiprinus, but Sowerby says it is solid, and has a dirty-white nacre, while cuprinus is rather thin and is copper colored throughout. 6The specimens which I have seen do not wholly agree with Kuster's figure and description, but are nearer to that than anything else. The material in the U. S. National Museum is mostly from Honduras though there are specimens credited to Cuba. Lea referred these to N. scamnatus Morelet. NO. 1205.

In one speci- men several ovisacs were distended with gas, and these were separated by a deep sulcus.

The rotundata sometimes shows radi- ating ridges at the beaks in eroded specimens. He also states that the nacre of his species is purple. The description therefore fits Lamarck's species perfectly, though I have never known the species to come from so far west as the Rio Grande — Conrad's locality. NO. 1205.

" This is sometimes considered a synonym of 0. circulus. The two species are exces- sively variable in form, and both often have a pink or purplish nacre. While indi- viduals may occasionally be found which can only be referred to either species with doubt, the majority of specimens can readily be determined, and Dr. V.

(Type, Unio ellipsis Lea.) Shell elliptical, inflated, solid, that of the males slightly pointed at the upper posterior part ; epidermis brownish or blackish, ray less or very feebly rayed, beaks anterior; pseudocardinals solid, stumpy, or slightly elongate in age, and showing a tendency toward being parallel with the laterals; cicatrices deep; nacre silvery, iridescent posteriorly. Animal with mantle having a wide, thickened, double border, the inner edge being toothed throughout below; gills small; marsupium not reaching to the posterior end of the outer branchia;, though extend- ing quite well forward; ovisacs rather numerous, large and distinct, tinted with purple below; anal and branchial openings finely toothed. *The type is a young female, somewhat broken, and besides this Lea has a shell which he has so named that I believe is O. castaneus. Under the name of Unio lens (Cat. No. 85743, U.S.N.M.) he has a young shell from Jackson, Mississippi, which is a young male unicolor. The species grows to the size of 0. lens, but shows dull rays and is more inflated than that species. 2 Dr. Lea states that the type is from Erie County, Michigan. There is no county of that name in the State, and his specimens may be from Erie County, Ohio. I am very doubtful whether it is more than a dwarf variety of U. drculus, as specimens have been seen from Tennessee which seem to stand between the two forms. 602 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

But I have seen spermatozoa in specimens with inflated shells and ova in those with the wing. Mr. H. M. Kelly, of Mount Vernon, Iowa, who has made a very careful study of the anatomy of many of our Unionida?, assures me that the form with the compressed shell, having the expanded flap behind, is the female. 2 It has been claimed that this species was previously described under the name of Obliquaria verrucosa by Rafinesque, but I ain unable to make anything out of his figure or description ; hence I use the name given by Barnes. Barnes's name was used by Rafinesque for the species which the former called Unio rerrucosus, but as Ratinesque placed his species in Obliquaria, and as the generic names of both forms are changed in this work, I do not consider Barnes's name preoccupied. 3 1 think that this is a large, rather high male of the species in question. I can not find any description of Unio gigas by Swainson, to whom Sowerby credits this species, and the Megadomus gigas of Swainson (which, so far as I know, is undescribed) can not be it, as the latter says that his genus, Megadomus, has the lateral teeth imperfect, one or none.

Mississippi drainage; Michigan; Alabama River; southwestwardly to central Texas. 1 1 am sorry to have to place the very appropriate and well-known name of Barnes in the synonymy, but I believe that the description of Rafinesque for his Obliquaria reflexa defines this species and nothing else, and although it is not figured, I feel jus- tified in using it. 2 A singular shell having the general form of reflexa, but the knobs are much broken np. I have seen specimens which agree quite well with Conrad's fine figure, which I have no doubt represents an unusual form of Rafinesque's species, and they hardly seem to me to be a varity. I do not think the so-called type in the Phila- delphia Academy of Natural Sciences is valid. 612 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.XXH. PTYCHOGEN^e.

He afterward changed it to woodwardianus. 3 1 formerly thought foremanianus and woodwardianus distinct, but a large amount of material received from Mr. R. E. Call, from the Cahawba River, Alabama, shows that the two absolutely blend together, there being a great diversity of form, and some specimens show the capillary rays of foremanianus and the square spots of woodwardianus, while others are of a uniform tawny color. 614 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. fPTYCHOBRANCHUS TRINACRUS Lea. * Unio trinacrus LEA, Pr.

Animal with the marsupium occupying the whole outer gills, when filled forming a smooth, very thick, liver colored pad; gills free from the abdominal sac from one-half to their entire length; palpi generally large; branchial opening papillose; anal opening without papilhe, though sometimes very slightly crenulate; superanal opening gener- ally small, widely separated from the anal. (Group of Anodonta cygnea.) Shell very evenly rounded in front, pointed behind, the point elevated above the base, more or less winged on post dorsal part, the line from the posterior part of the wing to the hinder point usually incurved; beaks flattened, the sculpture consisting of numerous more or less con- centric ridges, which are sometimes broken up into rather irregular corrugations. Animal with the inner gills the larger, free from the abdominal sac nearly or quite their whole length; palpi large. 1 1 can make nothing out of this, the figure being poor and the description meager.

I have gone over the literature as carefully as possible, and large series of specimens from many localities, and I confess that I am absolutely unable to separate these forms specifically. The variations of form, size, color, solidity, and even texture are sufficient for a large number of species if they were not everywhere connected by intermediate examples. The new school of concholo- gists has named every conceivable variation, and in very many cases distorted individuals. Europe is a densely settled region, and it is possible that the waters of the streams and ponds in many places may be so affected by sewage and other offal as to produce many changes in the mollusks living in them. I shall attempt to recognize a few of the leading forms as varieties, referring them to the author originally describing them, but on account of the enormous amount of literature pertaining to these forms and its confused condition, I can not attempt to trace out these varieties among the descriptions of subsequent writers. 2 According to Hanley (Shells of Linmeus, p. 144) the A. cygnea var cellensis of Rossmassler (Icon., IV, 1830, pi. xix, fig. 280) is marked for this in the Linmean cab- inet. It is a large, rather elongated shell, slightly biangulate behind, somewhat cut away on the upper posterior part, and having fairly full beaks. 622 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The figure shows it a dirty yellowish, without rays, and shaped something like A. fragilis, while the description is too brief to properly characterize it. 3 This may be A. grandia Say. 4 1 am not certain whether this is the implicata of Say or his cataracta. De Kay states that the shell is thin and fragile, and the figure shows it to be brown, green, and yellowish, in irregular bands, and apparently shining and smooth like cataracta. He says that it is nearest to implicata. 634 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. *Attodonlahoit8alonicti LIXSI.EY, Am. Jl. Sci., 1845, p. 277.— *STI MI-SON, Shells of N.

There is often a faint posterior ridge, which may be double, making the shell feebly biangulate behind; dorsal scars one or two under the beaks; muscle scars irregular. Animal with the gills large, equal in size, rounded below, free the greater part of their length from the abdominal sac, somewhat wrinkled ; marsupium occupying the entire outer gills, forming thick brown pads when filled ; palpi large, subelliptical, free from the mantle a long way; mantle having a wide, thickened edge; branchial opening crowded with dark papillae; anal opening with no papillae, but having purple ridges inside; superanal opening closed nearly its whole length.2 t ANODONTA WOODIANA Lea. • * Symphynota ivoodiana LEA, Tr.

AUG., 1853, p. 30, pi. vi, fig. 2. 1 Fischer has made a subgenus Pteranodon (Man. Conch., p. 1003) for A. magnifica, but I do not see any need of giving it and the related species any higher rank than that of a group. The shell and animal differ but little from those of other Anodontas. 2A group closely agreeing in general characters, but having enormous individual variation. Pere Heude has bestowed specific names on a great number of forms, most of which are, I think, merely mutations of Lea's woodiana. Fortunately the U. S. National Museum possesses in the Morelet collection a large series of author's specimens, and the excellent figures in the Conchyliologie Fluviatile Nanking enable me to straighten out this difficult group to some extent. 3 Larger and rather more finely developed than A. woodiana, but the large series of material I have examined absolutely connects the two. 6oS !'i;<>ci:i:i>i.\i;s or Tin: \ATIUXAL 'Anodon rotttndatii* SWAINSON, Ex.

All the species are from the Danube, and if the characters are accurately given it may possibly be a valid genus, though Westerlund gives it subgeheric rank under Anodonta. It is more than likely, how- ever, that all the so-called species are merely specimens of the well-known Anodonta cygnea, having a dorsal wing which conceals the ligament, and something which may be vestiges of lateral teeth. Such examples occur among Anodontas in other parts of the world. 650 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSE I'M.

The statement that the ligament passes into the hinge exactly fits this, and this is one of the best generic characters of Leguminaia. :'The amount of variation of this species is very great. In many cases the poste- rior end has evidently been injured by unfavorable environment, and the shell is dwarfed and variously distorted, and sometimes a good deal thickened. Of course every individual variation and distortion of this kind has been seized on by the New School and elevated to specific rank. I have seen only what seemed to me a single species of this subgenus, and nothing which really was worthy of a varietal name. •* Credited to Muhlfeld in literature. 6Credited by Rossmiissler to Ferussac, but without other reference.

Anodontoides SIMPSON (in Baker1), Moll. Chicago, 1898, p. 72. Shell elliptical, inflated, thin, with a faint- posterior ridge, sometimes constricted at the center of the base; beaks rather full, with a few coarse, subparallel, concentric ridges, which are curved up rather 1 The shells of this group are much like those of Strophitus, but have different beak sculpture. The character of the marsupia is also different in the two genera. In this group a limited number of ovules was found in the inner gills of one of the few gravid specimens seen, while in Anodonta only the outer gills contain ova so far as I have observed. It differs from Anodonta in the curving in of the hinge line in front of the beaks, in the beak sculpture, and in having papillte on the anal open- ing. Notwithstanding the fact that I have found embryos in all four gills of a specimen of this genus, I have placed it with the Homogense rather than with the Tetragena3 because the characters of shell and animal seeui to agree better with the former than with the latter.

Genus ARCIDENS Simpson, 19OO. (Type, Alasmodonta confragosa Say.) Shell subsolid, inflated, subrhomboid, with full, high beaks; beak sculpture very strong, consisting of irregular corrugations which fall into two loops, at the bases of which the ridges are swollen into knobs that continue out in two radiating rows on to the disk of the shell; in front of and behind the beaks are many fine, radial wrinkles, the posterior ones being zigzagged; surface of the shell covered with oblique folds and wrinkles; epidermis dark olive, shining; there are two elongated, compressed psuedocardinals in the left valve, the posterior under the beak, and curved upward, cutting off the hinge plate in the right valve, which has a single, compressed psendocardinal in front; laterals numer- ous, short, blurred; muscle scars irregular; nacre white. Animal with the gills very large, rounded below; inner the larger, free from the abdominal sac; marsupium filling the outer gills, of a peculiar, granular texture; palpi very large, elongated, attached half way to the mantle; mantle with a thick, unspotted border; branchial opening large, papillose; anal opening with rudimentary papillae.1 1 In the only gravid specimen I have seen the marsupinm presented a peculiar, striated, granular structure, different from that of any Naiad I know. It was nar- rowed in the middle, and produced into a sort of lobe behind, but, though the spec- imen seemed to be a perfectly normal one, I am in doubt whether this peculiar form is constant. I do not think that this granulation is the result of a diseased condi- tion, though it may be. 662 PROCEEDINGS OF THE \.lTloy.lL MUSEUM. tARCIDENS CONFRAGOSUS Say. *Alasmodonta confragosa SAY, N.

'This genus was described in a thesis by Laurentius Miinter Philipsson under his master, Ret/ins, in the University of Lund, Sweden, and it is often credited to the former. I am informed by Professor Job. Chr. Moberg, of Lund, that by a former law or custom of the university the professor was considered the author of all papers which a student under him defended. According to this, Ret/ins must be credited with the genus. This law was repealed in Lund in 1852. 680 VlUH-KKDiydS OF Till: XATIO.\.U, M I'SEUM. Canthyria SWAINSON, 'I'r. on Mai., 1810, p. 27X.

It is not quite eo rhomboid as that species, which is also found in Algiers, but I have seen much intermediate material which hints at n connection of the two. -The magnificent work in which this species with other Unioues was figured was never finished, and no descriptions of the Naiades were written. The beautiful col- ored figures are wonderfully characteristic and are accompanied by names. 3 Credited to Parreyss in catalogue. ••This is quite likely only a variety of the preceding, but seems to be thinner and is more evenly elliptical.

'All these so-called species of Locard, some of which he credits to the manuscripts of Bourguignat and Lortet, have high beaks placed at some distance from the anterior end, arc wedge-shaped and more or less pointed posteriorly. I think it quite probable that all of them, together with the next species, are mere variations of Bourguignat's old U. terminalis. Of course Locard lias figured every possible variation and distor- tion and called it a species. Proc. N. M. vol. xxii 44 G90 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.XXII.

Shell rather solid, subiutiated, rounded rhomboid, with a faint pos- terior ridge, usually slightly biangulate behind and often becoming arcuate when old; beaks prominent and full; beak sculpture consisting of numerous rather line, subparallel ridges or corrugations which are sometimes a good deal broken up, and which extend well out on the disk, but begin at the beaks as normal, somewhat coarse Unio sculpture, sometimes with fine radial lines posteriorly; pseudocardinals rather solid, subcompressed, smooth below ; laterals straight or slightly curved; cavity of the beaks rather deep ; muscle scars distinct. I have never seen the soft parts, of any member of this group. Quite a number of descriptions have been published of various nominal species, most of which go into details as to the color of the different parts, but do not give an atom of information as to real characters. The animal is dark or highly colored, and seems to be gravid in sum- mer, and no doubt carries the young in the outer gills alone. Gills large, wider behind, inner the larger, especially in front; mantle thick- ened at the edges; palpi very large, elliptical, rounded behind, hanging at an angle of 45°; branchial opening large, strongly fringed/' 'I think this is a form of grelloisianns. Some forms of the latter are very much like U. tlgridus Bourguignat, but he says that it has roughened beaks while those of tigridis are always smooth. -I have only seen the type, a young shell, and its relations are doubtful. The sharp, rather pustulous, beak sculpture, and the shining, yellowish epidermis are like the i>ictorum group, but its form is peculiar. It may not come from Syria at all. :iFrom a figure in Mai. d'Algerie, II, pi. xix. so.1205. M XOl'.SIS <>/•' Till: \MADES— SIMPSON. 691 tUNIO LITTORALIS Lamarck.1 * Unio littoralis LAMARCK, Syst.

Fr.,1806). Dra- parnaud published this species under the name Unio littoralis without a figure in the Tableau Mollusques de France, 1801, which appeared, according to Moquin-Tandon, about July 1 of that year. I do not know which has priority, but Lamarck refers to u characteristic figure in the Encyclopedic Methodique (17;'7), thus fixing the species without a doubt, and as he is most generally considered its author I shall credit it to him. -Fig. 743 is a small I', littoralis. I think 747 is U. batavus. 3 Only a partial inside view is given of two valves. Scliumacher says it very much resembles U. corrugatus Retzius, but is larger, and the teeth are very different. I believe it is a T. littoralis. 4 Lamarck refers this species to the Isle of France. Sgan/iu states (Me"rn. Soc. Hist. Nat. Strasb., 1840-46, p. 8) that the amateurs he consulted in that island assured him that no such mollusk was found there. According to Lea it is Unio littoralis. 692 PROCEEDINGS OF Till- .\.iTln.\.U.

I have seen specimens in the collection of the former from the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, which are, no doubt, authentic, and which, I think, perhaps, are specifically different from littoralin, being much shorter and more rounded. 2A specimen of this in the IT. S. National Museum collection, from Tristram, labeled as above, is the same as Lea's examples of semiruyattis. 3Published as Unio maris-yalilcei in list in Comptes Rendus, XCI, p. 502; but not described. 4Some of these approach very close to specimens of 17". littoralis, especially to the form called U. rothi Bourguiguat, which I have placed in that species, and I should not be surprised if there was an absolute connection between the short, rounded forms of U. semirugatua and the longer rhomboid U. littoralis.

Acad. 1 Kobelt supposed this to be the U. Jiueti of Bourguignat, and figured and described it for that species. It is, however, very distinct, and I therefore am compelled to give it a new name. -Tristram only describes this in Latin, and docs not figure it; and as I have never seen an authentic specimen I am obliged to depend on Kobelt's figure, which agrees well with Tristram's diagnosis. These make it a large, somewhat silicate form, shaped like batarua, but more compressed and having a beautiful purple nacre. 3 There does not seem to be any essential difference between the Algerian and the Syrian shells, which I have referred to this species. 4 Bourguiguat says he has received numerous specimens of this from Dronet, labeled U. turcicus Parreyss, but Parreyss's names were only in manuscript, and were never published, and have therefore no scientific standing. •"'Only the typo is in the Lea collection, and it appears to be a delicate specimen of durieui.

Since then Conrad in 1836, and others after him, have used the specific name as of Ralinesque and applied it to a Unio, which they have figured and described. Barnes applied the name in 1823, properly characterizing it, and it must stand, because at that time it had not been used in the genus Unio. 704 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL .l/Lr.S'AT M. * Unto (lihilattis SAY,' Am.

The type, the only shell in the Lea collection, is rather solid, and the posterior ridge is curved slightly upward in the middle. Other specimens in the museum are less solid, the posterior ridge is sharper, aud straight or curved down in the middle, and there seems to be almost a connection with the very different I', hartwrighti. 2This name was applied to another species by Newcomb, and was used by Wright in the Check List, by Pa;tel and others, but the form to which it was given was believed to be a synonym of something else, and it was never described. Mr. Wright has again used the name for what is probably a valid species. :>The figure of this shell is not at all accurate, being considerably more blunt posteriorly and inflated below than the specimen sent as the type. It approaches U. monroensis, but is more elongated, and a series of specimens sent by Mr. Wright almost connects it with U. dorei. BO i2o5 syxorsrs OF Tt/r-: X.UADES— siMi'sox. 71 1 tUNIO WEBSTERI B.

Specimens sent since by Mr. Weight and said to be typical approach U. Itartwrighti, but are more compressed and elongated. These forms are exceedingly puzzling. 2 An aberrant species.

That of Crassidens is characterized by inflated shells with a strong posterior ridge, and wrinkles on the posterior slope; of Buckleyi by a less developed ridge, the absence of strong wrinkles, and a rich, warm texture of shell; of Complanatus by trapezoidal, not greatly inflated shells of dull texture. The species of the Fisherianus gronp have elongated, generally compressed, thin shells, pointed behind, and of the Downiei assemblage solid, inflated shells. But there are many species that are quite negative in characters, and others that com- bine the features of two or more groups, that can not be satisfactorily placed. 2The type is a large, badly eroded shell, apparently a little injured at the upper, anterior part, and is truncated a little there. 3The type is a small, old shell, which has become rough and arcuate. •"Credited to Manatee River, Florida, Simpson and Miakka Lake, Florida, New- comb, by Mr. Wright. I have never found it in the Manatee River, but obtained it in abundance in Miakka Lake. "'Although the type is very different from that of U. luckleyi the two species ap- proach BO closely that there are specimens which I can not name. 714 pROCKKDixtis or Tin: XJTIO\.-U.

North Florida. 1 Unio arctatus is a widely distributed, abundant, and variable species, ranging from the Black Warrior River to southern Florida. I have examined a great amount, of material from the Black Warrior and Cahawba rivers (collected by Call), from the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers from the Lea and other collections, and I feel reasonably sure that all the species I have united should »•<> together. 2 1 believe this to be a small, somewhat inflated form of urctatun.

Roauoke River; Welden and Salem, North Carolina. 1 This was first published in the Joliet Weekly News, a newspaper, May 1, 1891. It is a puzzling form, having something the shape of the variety orcutti of U. buck- leyi, but has plications ou the posterior slope such as are found in the Crassidens group. 2 1 do not know where to place this form, of which I have only seen the type. The figure is not very accurate, aud I formerly thought it a variety of U. buckleyi, but on seeing the type I believe it is uot that. It seems to combine characters of the Buckleyi and Crassiderw groups. 720 i'ii<>fi-;i:i>ix<;s OF THE X.ITIOX IL Mrsi>;rM. VOL.XXH. t UNIO AMABILIS Lea. *r«io amahilis LKA, Pr. Acad. X. Sci.

(Group of Unio complanatus.) Shell elongate trapezoidal, moderately solid, but little inflated, nearly straight below, with a posterior ridge, usually biangulate behind; beaks not prominent, sculptured with several coarse, parallel ridges which follow the growth lines or are nearly straight. Epidermis some- times shining and feebly rayed, becoming rough and rayless with age; laterals straight or slightly curved; beak cavities shallow. Animal with the marsupium occupying all or nearly all of the outer branchiaB; gills long, rounded below, inner much the larger, free nearly or quite their whole length from the abdominal sac. t UNIO COMPLANATUS (Solander) Dillwyn.i Mya complanata SOLANDER, manuscript (no date). — * PORTLAND catalogue, 1786, p. 100, Lot 2190.—* DILLWYN, Cat., I, 1817, p. 51. * Unio complanata DESHAYES, An. sans Vert., 2d ed., VI, 1835, p. 559; 3d ed., II, 1839, p. 676. 1 This species was described by Solauder in Latin, but the manuscript was never published and is now in the British Museum. Mr. Edgar A. Smith kindly examined it for me and informed me that Dillwyn's description in the catalogue is a transla- tion from Solander. The name Mya complanata was used by Lister in Hist. Sive. Conch. (1770, p. 150), but Lister was not a binomial author. The Portland catalogue is anonymous, and a mere sale list. I have done my best to straighten out the syn- onymy of this variable and exceedingly puzzling group, and have examined nearly all the types and a great amount of material. In some cases, as in the Buckleyi group, there seem to be no specific lines whatever. xo.1205. SYNOPSIS OF THE NAIADES— SIMP SOX. 72] * Unio complanatus FKRUSSAC, Gner. Mag., 1835, p. 26. — * GOULD.

Dr. Lea after- wards changed the name to oblatus. 2 Dr. Lea credits this to Ravenel's letter, but neither he nor Ravenel ever described it so far as I know. 3 Ravenel here credits this species to Lea. Lea's specimens, received from Ravenel, are marked Santee Canal and South Carolina. They are rather thin and delicate, of a peculiar texture, and have a shining brownish green epidermis. NO. 12ns.

The first described is the Unio tetralasmus Say, an elongated, rather smooth, more or less shin- ing form, of which excultua, jameaianus, parallelus, subcroceus, and symmetricus seem to be synonymous, varying a little in form, color, and smoothness. The variety camp- todon of Say is quite rhomboid, and is a rather rough, dark shell, and U. symmetricus is practically synonymous. Variety decliris is peculiarly drawn out at the post basal point. Variety manuoius is a large, rather smooth form, rounded on the basal line. All these are Southern and Southwestern forms. Variety sayi is a yellowish shell, with very distinct rest marks, and has a more northern distribution than the rest, but it absolutely blends into them. Ward sent a description of his U. sayi to Tappan, who published it in the American Journal of Science and Arts under date of 1839. In Part XI of the Monography, dated November; 1838, Conrad describes Unio sayanus (changed to sayi in his notes) and refers it to Ward in the American Journal of Science and Arts of 1839. There is some mistake in these dates. In giving the synonymy it is hard to tell in all cases just what authors have meant. 740 PROCEEDINGS OF TTIK \ATIOXAL MUSEUM.

The distribution of obesus is eastern, that of tetralasmus western, while columbensis occupies a central position in streams of the Gulf drainage. 3 It is impossible to tell from the very poor figure what this is. Lea thinks it is Margaritana margaritifera, but Bosc did not visit any region where that species is found, and the figure seems to show lateral teeth. It is quite probably U. obesus. I think Lea's name had better be used. 742 PBOCEEDjy&S OF'THS NATIONAL MrxKUM. VOL.XXII. * Unio (ledivis (.'<>M:.\I>, Mouog., V. IXii!. p. 15, }>]. xxm, fig. 1. M Unio'ineptus LEA. Tr. Am. Phil.

The shells on the one hand approach very close to those of Quadrula in appearance, and to Unio on the other hand. But all of them have shallow beak cavities, while those of Quadrula are deep, and the embryos of Pleurobema are contained in the outer gills only. The shells are generally more solid and more triangular than those of Unio, and the pattern of coloring is different from that of either genus. It stands between the two genera. I place Unio cesopus and varicosus in Pleurobema with some hesitation, though in a specimen of the former containing comparatively few embryos there were none in the inner gills, and their beak cavities are shallow. 746 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

There seems to be a complete set of intermediates. 2 Dr. Lea is inclined to believe (see above citation) that Conrad's Unio maculaliis is the same as his own rarenelianns, and if this were the case Lea's name should have precedence. From an examination of specimens in the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences and Conrad's figure and description, I am forced to differ from Dr. Lea, as I consider the species close to Lamarck's clavus. 3The type, a young shell, is certainly the same as Unio Jawii, and there does not seem to be any material difference between it and the types of U. bellitlns and mnndus. The figure is hardly accurate. NO. 1205. SYNOPSIS OF THE NAIADES— SIMPSON. 747 LEY, Test. Moll., 1842, p. 213.— *CONRAD, Pr. Ac. N. Sci., Phila., VI, 1853, p. 250.— *H. and A. ADAMS, Gen. Rec.

It is certainly very different from the shell Rafinesque figures and describes as Pleurobema mytilloides. (Ann. Gen. Sci. Phys. Brux., XIII, 1820, p. 313, pi. LXXXII. figs. 8-10.) Conrad's Unio cor was published in May, 1834, and his mytilloides in January of the same year, so that the latter has priority, but as Rafinesqtie's name was placed under the genus Pleurobema, and as I place Conrad's species, which is an entirely different thing, in the same genus, the name mytilloides can not be used for it, and it must therefore take the next name proposed, which is Conrad's cor. Dr. Lea admits Rafinesque's mytiUoides with doubt, and in his collection places under that name specimens which I regard as a rather elongated Quadrula pyramidata. Rafinesque's figure represents an elongated shell, almost absolutely straight on the dorsal line, and with the beaks carried far in front of the rest of the shell. I have never seen any thing which at all agrees with it. NO. 1205. SYNOPSIS OF THE NAIADES— SIMPSON. 755 ser., Ill, 1845, p. 16, pi. in, fig. 2. — * CATLOW and REEVE, Conch.

Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee river systems; west to Missouri and Minnesota; Alabama River, according to Call. 1 1 am not positive as to the generic position of the two following species, but 1 am inclined to place them in Pleurobema. No other living species of this genus has any development of tubercles, but a great number of fossil forms from the Tertiary of eastern Europe which seem to be most like Pleurolema are decidedly pustulous The heavy, inflated, high beaks and the comparatively shallow beak cavities are characters found in all the species of this genus. In the single gravid specimen I examined (one out of a large number from different localities) the outer gills were not filled very full of ova, though they were found throughout their extent, while the most careful search did not disclose any in the inner gills.

Mr. T. G. Lea, of Cincinnati, took many specimens of this species, the shells of which he sent to Dr. Lea, and in several of them he has written in pencil "not charged" or "ovaries charged, "'with the date, but neither of them seems to have described the animal. I am somewhat at a loss to know where to placo this curious form. The young are much like thr>sc of Quadrula solida, and do not show the swellings until the third or fourth year, and occasionally the adult shell is nearly smooth. 766 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM*. VOL.XXH. heavy, wide, flattened ; pseudocardinals solid, direct, ragged; laterals double in the left and single in the right valve, often with a small secondary lateral below the large one in the right valve; cavity of the beaks deep and compressed; dorsal scars under the hinge plate; male and female shells alike. Animal having the inner gills the larger, generally free from the abdominal sac the greater part or all of their length; marsupium occupying all four of the gills throughout, the whole smooth and pad- like. Section CRENODONTA Schliiter.i (Type, Unio plicatns Say.) Shell more or less alate; beaks prominent; the surface of the valves usually sculptured with oblique folds; posterior slope generally having smaller radial plications which curve upward behind; epidermis brown- ish or blackish; anterior muscle scars large, distinct, very shallow, the anterior edge smooth, the rest apparently filled with roughened shelly matter; posterior scars large, shallow, indistinct; escutcheon large and dark. Animal with the gills generally large, rounded below; inner the larger, usually free nearly or quite the entire length of the abdominal sac,2 the two pairs united to the mantle nearly but not quite to the posterior end, having a small portion free; inarsupiuin occupying all the four branchiae, forming very heavy, thick pads; labial palpi usually large. (Group of Quadrula plicata.) Shell rounded to subrhomboid; plications usually strong, oblique, though in occasional specimens the surface may be perfectly plane or slightly concentrically sculptured. 1 Schliiter applied the name Crenodonta (Verz. meiner Conch., 1836, p. 33) to a group of Uuionidae, the first species of which was the Unio plicatus of Say, but he gave no description of his group and did not designate a type. In 1853 Morch (Yoldi cata- logue, p. 45) used this name without a description or a type, and it has been applied to the plicate Uniones by von Martens (Biologia Centrali-Americana, Mollusca, 1900, p. 479). 2 Dr. Lea found in Quadrula multiplicata the inner gills generally nearly or entirely free, but in certain specimens they were wholly united. My own experience in exam- ining the animals of this species exactly coincides with his, thus showing that the character of the union of the inner gills with the abdominal sac, or their separation from it, is not a generic character, as Agassiz believed, nor is it even of specific value. Although I have examined thousands of animals belonging to the Flicata group of the genus Quadrula, taken at various seasons and throughout almost the entire range of the assemblage and of nearly all the species, I have never seen a speci- men with ova or embryos in the gills save one in the alcoholic collection of Dr. Lea in the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. Other students of the Union- id;e have found these species equally barren. It is probable that they breed only at long intervals but in enormous numbers, a supposition strengthened by the fact that Dr. Lea found about 6,000,000 young in the gills of a single Unio multiplicatm.

It is a rather light brown, glossy shell, and is sculptured with a series of yy-shaped markings on the disk. Otherwise it is generally like Q. perplicatus. I have seen the Q. undulata and one or two other species of this group break from the ordinary oblique bars into these peculiar markings, and I am quite sure that in this case the same thing has happened to Q. perplicata. 6 Dr. Lea first called this Unio atrocostatus, and then wrote in one of his duplicates Unio elliottii. He says that it is very near to U. perplicatus Conrad, but that the young of his species have a yellow stain on the posterior part of the nacre not found on any other species. I have, however, found it on young atrocostatus in his collec- tion. I am strongly inclined to believe that the elliottii is only a peculiar, vigorous variety of perplicata, but do not feel quite certain of it, and so let it go as a species with doubt. NO. 1205.

I have traced it northward into Kansas, where it gradually assumes the ordinary form of undulata. Occasional specimens are found in the Northern States which agree very well with the typical lalecostata. 2I feel quite sure that this is only a peculiar variety of undulata. 3 A peculiar shell belonging to Mr. J. H. Ferriss, of Joliet, Illinois, from Lake Win- nipeg, has been examined by the writer. It has unusually strong growth lines and is quite full in the ventral region, and has only the very faintest vestiges of plica- tions below the lower part of the posterior ridge. I regard it as a smooth form of Q. undulata, and if any considerable number of such specimens were found it might be worthy of a varietal name. Proc. N.

Animal with the marsupium occupying all four leaves of the gills; inner gills the larger, free from the abdominal sac only part of their length; anal opening without papillae.3 'An inflated form. 2 Usually entirely free from sculpture excepting faint corrugations on the poste- rior slope. A specimen belonging to Mr. William A. Marsh, from Village Creek, Texas, shows slight tuberculation on the disks. 3I have been puzzled as to the relationship of this group and have been strongly inclined to place it near chickasawhensis, but I now believe it is more closely allied to the Pustulosa group. Its posterior truncation, the prominent angle behind the ligament, and beak sculpture lead me to place it here. The general sculpture of Q. peirina approaches that of these species. 784 PROCEEDINGS OF THE \ATIO\.\L MUSEl'M. VOL.XXII. t QUADRULA INFUCATA Conrad. * Unio infucatus CONRAD, New F. W.

The specimens in the Lea collection which Dr. Lea calls mytiloides Rafinesque, are evidently a form of his pyramidatus. Rafinesque's figure represents a shell very long and almost straight on the posterior dorsal line, with astonishingly high beaks, and four dia- tiuct, equally separated rays on the disk, and he says there are some oblique, black, longitudinal bands on the shell. The Rafinesquian shell seems as near to the Unio clava of Lamarck as anything, but it does not agree with that. NO. 1205. SYNOPSIS OF Till-: X. I f.

There is a Unio kirklandianns recently named by Wright;. 2 A form is found in the Tennessee drainage which comes nearest, it seems to me, to the kirtlandianus of Lea, but is much smaller and more delicate, and is not so strongly colored. Mr. Wetherby believes this to be a form of the nearly allied anbrotundits, but it seems to me too much compressed for that. Dr. Sterkj is of the opinion that the two species should be united. While there are specimens which can hardly be determined, it seems to me that in the main the two are distinct. The small form may be called variety minor. :)The name subrotunda was used by Rafinesque in 1820 for some species of Naiad, probably a member of the Circnlus group which I can not determine, and placed in the genus Obliquaria by him. Conrad afterwards, in 1834, placed what he supposed was this species in the genus Unio. Lea applied the name subrofundus to his species in 1831, and being the first to use it for that genus, 1 think it will have to stand, and Conrad's name become a synonym. 792 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL Conch., 1858, pi. xv, figs. 1, 1«, lb.— * KUSTEH, Conch.

I have not noticed it. 1 Mr. Conrad states in the Monography that his shells came from the Little Red River, Arkansas. Our shells in the U. S.

PUS ILL A Simpson.* Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee river systems; northwest to Iowa. 1 Rafinesque's description is plainly that of one of the pustulous Unioues of the Ohio, and the statement that it is truncated posteriorly, Avants nodules anteriorly, is three or more inches long, and has a violet nacre makes it certain that it is the rerrucosus of Barnes. "This form has been considered by many merely at best a variety of the tuberculata, and I have so regarded it. It has always a smaller and generally a more inflated shell, higher beaks, and usually a smoother, more olive-colored epidermis than the latter. Its nacre is ordinarily more copper colored than that of tuberculata. I believe with Mr. Wetherby that it is a valid species. 3 A greatly dwarfed inflated form from the Green River at Mammoth Cave, Ken- tucky, may bear the above name. 796 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The species varies much in the size of pustules and the degree of its smoothness, and Heude has exalted all these variations to the rank of species. I think it probable that when a large amount of material can be examined it will be found necessary to reduce some of the Chinese forms I have considered as species to the rank of varieties, or even to the synonymy. 3 Benson says this is not very distantly related to J'nio nudulatus Barnes.

The brief description (in the index) was published in 1834, the date of the work. Lea's Unio murchisonianus was not published until 1834. This species has an immense distribution and varies greatly in form and degree of sculpture. '2An author's shell in the Lea collection is certainly a young U. douglasia-. 3 This and U.firmus and chloreus with others are given as varietal names and lettered. ••Credited by Westerluud to Amurland. I'nio picto rum, or varieties of it, have several times been credited to this region, but no doubt erroneously. This species is always darker when adult than the well-known European species, and has totally different beak sculpture. The two shells often resemble each other closely in form. 6Specimens of shells bearing the above names, labeled by Westerlund, are in the U. S. National Museum. 6 A smooth form of douglasice, possibly worthy of a varietal name. NO. 1205. SYNOPSIS OF THE NAIADES— SIMPSON. 809 f NODULARIA DOUGLASI-flE var.

The ordinary form of douglasice is found also in Japan. 2 This seems to stand between this group and that of N. grayanus. 3The shells of some of the species of this group are very different from the normal Nodularia, being covered with roughish epidermis and apparently lacking sculpture. Others, however, show occasional sculpture, and the young shells have the green epidermis characteristic of the group. 810 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. NODULARIA JAPANENSIS var.

The Nodularia cicrulea is an abundant and very widely distributed form, and therefore quite variable in size, form, solidity, color, and sculpture, and it is possible that other so-called species should be merged with it. Some of the above might rank as varieties, but I can hardly separate them. 2 Lea credits this name to Ferussac manuscript. So far as I know neither Ferussac or anyone else has ever described it. Lea makes U. ieretiusculus a synonym of it in his Synopsis. 3Philippi's figure is a little more rounded posteriorly than are any of the shells I have seen from Africa bearing this name. After a critical comparison of numerous specimens, which are undoubtedly of African origin, I can only place this in the caarulews group (with which it agrees in every essential character) and close to cceruleus itself. There are other undoubtedly close relations between species of Naiades of the Ethiopian and Oriental regions. 4Unfignred. Von Martens places it in the group of U. ieretimculus. HO. 1205.

It is considered by many to be the same as Nodularia nilotica, but the compar- ison of large series of material and authentic specimens in the Lea collection from Cailliaud incline me to separate them. There is, however, great variation in their characters, but aigyptiaca is a thinner, more rounded shell than niloticus, and has lamellar pseudo-cardinals. 822 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The group is an exceedingly difficult and variable oue, and, judging from the large number of species he has founded on the most trivial variations, we may consider it exceedingly fortunate that he never saw the other seventy-five. I have seen but a limited amount of material, but I am led to believe that two forms of the same species often exist, as in Lamp- silis and allied genera, and which may be male and female shells.

'Miiller's description of Mya corrugata is inadequate, but in the Beschaftigungen it is further discussed and characteristic figures are given of the species we know as Unio corrugatus of India. 2Refers to Conch. Cab. VI, pi. in, fig. 22, which is probably Miiller's shell. Chemnitz refers to it as Mya corrugata teste oraH, etc. The shell referred to by him in Conch. Cab., X, p. 346, as Mya corrugata magna, etc., is a very different thing. :i Lamarck refers to Enc. Meth. Pt. 19, 1797, pi. CCXLVIII, figs. 6, 8 a, 1). I am not at all sure that fig. 6 is the corrugatus of Muller. ""Credited by Philippi to Parreyss. I think there can be no doubt that this is the Mya corrugata of Miiller, as the figure and description entirely agree with the species as we know it. 5Parreyss is the author, according to Philippi. This and multidentatus are credited by Philippi to Australia. No shells like these have ever been found there. 6 Lutens in text, by error 110 doubt. 842 rnncEEDiyGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.XXH.

Lond., 1877, p. 719; 1893, p. 640, believes that Unio kirki Lea and aferulus Lea are but varieties of Unio nyassaensis, and that Unio hermosus Bourguignat is identical with it. It is possible that the three forms of Lea may blend together, but the types are so distinct that I do uot feel justified in uniting them even as varieties one of another. 2 There is some confusion about this shell. The form ou pi, xxxiv, which Smith probably refers to in the text as fig. 34fc is simply fig. 34 on the plate, and is, I think, a distinct species, which has received the name of ujijiensis from Bourguignat. There is no fig. 34fc on the plate. His 34a, which Smith calls var. tanganyicensis, is U. nyassaensis Lea. Bourguignat probably alluded to the fig. 34 when he bestowed his name, although ho speaks of the var. tanyanyicensis Smith. These must not be confounded with the original Unio tan;/anyicen8. 152; Jl.

Great lakes of Para, Brazil. 1 This species, of which the type is in the Lea collection, has some of the characters of Prisodon and Castalina, but I can not satisfactorily refer it to either, and it is cer- tainly not a Diplodon. Its strong sulcatiou, reddish chestnut epidermis, and purple nacre are characters that are not possessed by any South American Naiades that I am acquainted with. ^ Lea received this shell from Dr. Bunker under the name of Castalia sulcata Krauss. Believing it to be a Unio, he placed it in that genus, and the name sulcatus being preoccupied in Unio, he changed it as above. 3Iu oue of Lea's shells the beaks are almost perfect, and not a sign of sculpture can be seen. 868 PROCEEDINGS OF THE X ATI OS A I.

LXVII, fig. 1. 1 In 1753 Klein (Testanaen Me"thodi, p. 135, pi. 9, fig. 36) used the name Triquctra for the shell which has since been known as Hyria syrmatophora Gronovius. In 1817 Schumacher founded the genus Prisodon (Essai Nouv. Systeme, p. 138), in which under section a he placed his P. obliquus, a smooth species considerably drawn out, and in section b he put P. truncatus, which is possibly the same as the Castalia ambigua of Lamarck. These certainly belong to two genera. Dr. Lea in the Synopsis used Klein's name for the winged shell (Hyria corrugata Lamarck), and used the name Prisodon for Schumacher's section b (P. truncatus Schumacher). Lea erred in this, because Klein was not a binomial author, and his name-can not be used. In the proceedings of the U. S. National Museum, XVIII, 1896, p. 315, I restored the name of Prisodon Schumacher to the first section, pointing out that the P. obliquus Schu- macher must stand as its type. Two years after Schumacher's name appeared Lamarck published the generic name Hyria in the Animaux sans Vertebres, VI, 1819, p. 81, and placed in it first his H. avicularis, which equals Schumacher's P. obliquus, and secondly H. corrugata. I now believe that these corrugated forms are generically distinct from the smooth ones, and as Schumacher's Paxyodon is almost certainly founded on one of the smooth species, Lamarck's name Hyria can be used by elimi- nation for the corrugatus and allied forme.

XLIII, fig. 2) under the name of Unio modestus, which he credits to Charpentier's manuscript, a different shell from that referred to by Lea and. the Adams brothers. If the latter was never described the name modestus can not be used for it, as it was first properly applied to another species. The shells in Lea's collection may be described as follows : Shell smalJ, subrhomboid, rather solid; beaks full with radial sculpture, the two middle bars coalescing; surface faintly concentrically sculptured, dark olive; two com- pressed pseudocardinals in each valve which are strongly obliquely striated; two laterals in the left valve and one in the right; anterior muscle scars distinct; nacre bluish; beak cavities shallow.

It is undoubtedly a South American form. The type, the only shell I have seen is dead and in bad condition; but the beaks have radial sculpture, and I think it he- longs here. r>No wide distinction exists between this and the preceding group, and there are species which might be assigned about as easily to one as the other. In general the forms of this division are more delicate, thinner, and more compressed than those of the Delodontus group. There are fc\v clear characters in any of the species. I'hilippi and others have, it seems to mo, unduly multiplied names for these forms, and the lack of suitable material and their extreme simplicity and similarity make it impos- sible for me to always determine which are valid. The synonymy is in bad shape, but I have done the best I could at straightening it out. NO. 1205. SYNOPSIS OF THE XAIAI)KS—SIVrsO\. 879 'Margarita ( Unio) granosus LEA.

The species varies much in form and sculpture, some specimens being smooth, and all variations occur to those quite granose throughout. Lea places his species in the synonymy U. ellipticus Spix, which I think is an error. The type of multistriatus is more elongated than the figure of I', granosus in the Encyclopedie Methodiqne, but agrees very well with undoubted specimens of this species which I have seen. 2 Credited by Knster to Bronn in litt. ^Credited by Gould to Walla Walla, Oregon. It is a young, rather smooth granosus I am sure, and the habitat given is wrong. The type is in the U. S. National Museum. 880 PROCEEDINGS OF THE XATK>\.il. MUSEUM.

If this is so, it must be quite different from that species. 2Lamarck's description of this species is wholly inadequate, and would apply about equally well to several species. He refers to no figure, and Lea states that he did not see the type. I credit the species to Hanley, whose figure seems to represent a form of an abundant and variable species couimouly referred to Lamarck. NO. 1205.

Delessert's figure in 1841 probably equals Lea's par ama It en sin. As the name deprcssns was used for a Unio in 1801 by Donovan I am obliged to use another for this. 2A specimen of this iu the Lea collection from the Stuart expedition is identical with Lea's species.

Von Martens believes this is not the Spatha rubens of the Encyc. Me"th. (Mai. Bl., 1866). This species is widespread, abundant, and variable, and the material I have examined leads me to believe that it may include either the short, rounded form of the Encyc. Me"th. or specimens that are more elongated and even somewhat rhomboid. 2 1 can not see any essential difference between this and forms of what I believe are 5. rubens. I believe that the S. cailliaudi is only one of these forms. 3 1 have only seen the reprint of this paper, which begins with page 1. NO. 1205.

Icon., XVII, 1867, pi. vu, fig. 14. 1 This is briefly described in the index, p. 595, as Anodon nusannce. In the text the genus is called Anodontites. -Two specimens of this, a large and a smaller one, are in the Gould collection. Lea places the species in the synonymy of G . trapesialis Lamarck., to which Lewis objects in a note on the back of Gould's label on account of its locality — Mexico. After carefully comparing these shells with all our trapesialis iii the Museum col- lections I am unable to separate the two. Carpenter states (Mazatlan Shells, p. 117)- that it is found rather plentifully at Mazatlan. I do not believe that the locality given for Gould's shells is correct (it is referred to Mexico with doubt by its author), and have no doubt that they are from South America. The species alluded to by Carpenter is probably G. glauca Valenciennes, which is closely related to G. trapesialis. 3 Glabaris trapesialis is a very abundant, widely distributed species, and shows a great number of variations. Some of these are probably worthy of varietal names, others seem to be so mixed with various forms that they are scarcely worthy of any designation. 4 A brownish, somewhat elongated form, much narrowed in front, receiving its name from having dark purplish letter-like marks on the nacre. There is every pos- sible development of this character from shells in which it is a marked feature to those without it at all. NO. 1205.

" Fischer changed the name plicatus to clessini because the former name had been used by Sowerby for a species which he (Sowerby) placed in Mycetopus. Sowerby's shell is a Mntela, and that of Clessin a Glabaris of the Tenebricosua group. Von I hering applied the name nehringi to the above after Fischer had changed it, and was evidently not aware that the French savant had given it a new name. NO. 1205.

Nicaragua. 1 The three very peculiar species of this section seem to show relationship with G. wheatleyi and G. clessini. 2 Shell elongated, rather thin, subrhoinboid and pointed at the posterior base, slightly rayed on the low, rounded posterior ridge ; beaks low ; epidermis olive green, somewhat cloth-like; hinge line nearly straight; anterior scars deep; escutcheon small, dark; nacre shaded bluish and greenish, lurid purplish in the center, iridescent behind. Length, 76 mm. ; height, 21 mm. ; diameter, 11 mm. This was supposed by Dr. Lea to be ensiformia and I thought it was that until a more careful examination convinced me of its distinctness. It is a smaller, thinner, more rhomboid shell, and has a somewhat cloth-like epidermis, while that of ensi- formis is smooth. I regret that I can not figure this species, and that I must describe it in a footnote, but I only discovered that it was a distinct species as the Synopsis was about ready for the press. 3 1 can not tell what this is. If it is a true Glabaris, it would be the type of a group perhaps near G. tenebricosus. ^D'Orbigny refeas to figures in Spix, but his references are badly mixed up. NO. 1205.

Shell thin, elongated, truncate above behind, with a low, posterior ridge and rather flat, smooth or slightly concentrically wrinkled beaks; epidermis smooth, shining, pale greenish-yellow or brownish, rayless; hinge line long, straight, edentulous or showing faint traces of denticles, under a glass, beneath the nacre; nacre soft, bluish- white and irides- cent; muscular impressions faint, irregular, the smaller anterior scar above the larger one; beak cavities shallow. Animal having very long gills, the inner much the larger, united to the abdominal sac throughout their whole length; palpi large, round below, projecting very slightly behind and attached along the whole length of the straight upper border; mantle very thin, slightly thick- ened at the edges; branchial opening closed below into a short papillose siphon, and separated from the nearly smooth anal opening by a strong bridge; superanal opening not closed below; foot very long, developed at the lower end into a sort of head or button. . ' So named by its author in the Guerin Magazine, but afterwards changed by him to Mycetopus in the Voyage Amerique Meridionale. The genus has been made the type of a separate family by Gill, and was so acknowledged by Pelseneer and others, but it does not seem to me to be separable from the Muielidce. Certain shells under favorable light show slight deutilations along the hinge line, which are, no doubt, vestigial taxodont teeth common to the family ; the labial palpi and anal bridge are decidedly mutelid in character, and the great development of the foot is paralleled in Solenaia, Lastena, and to some extent by Gonidea among the Unionidce. 934 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.
