Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...Rack. This species is well-distributed and very common in places on the cliff side at the Island. I have a record of 140 specimens taken November 12, 1892, and have found 20 or more all together--in fact, on the cliff side, either in the fall or spring, it is usual to find these large families buried together in the loose, shaly rock. At other places where I have collected, it has been unusual to find more than a pair together. A few of my Isle d'Orleans specimens are very fine, and have the umbilicus unusually large. Polygyra monodon Rack, var. fraterna Say. A few approaching this variety were taken in the neighborhood of the Gomin swamp on the mainland. Vallonia pulchella Mull. Common on the mainland at foot of cliffs, and on the Plains of Abraham, also observed on the Island. Vallonia eostata Mull. Occurs with pulchella on both sides of the St. Lawrence River, but is not so plentiful. Vallonia excentrica Sterki. Local, at foot of cliff at St. Joseph's with pulchella, not observed elsewhere. Vallonia labyrinthica Say. Chiefly from the Island, and generally from the dryer parts of the woods. Pupa armifera Say. Recorded by the late Abb6 Provancher as being common on the Plains of Abraham; it may be taken there in some abundance with Vallonia from under pieces of rock. I have taken single examples on the Island and at Levis. Sphyradium simplex Gould. Rare, Island d'Orleans. Vertigo milium Gould. A few on the mainland, more common on the Isle d'Orleans. Vertigo ovata Say. Fairly plentiful in some localities. Vertigo gouldii Binn. Rare, Isle d'Orleans. Vertigo ventricosa Morse. Rare, Isle d'Orleans. Vertigo pentodon Say. Isle d'Orleans, local. This shell has a habit of coating itself with dirt, like Succinea avara Say, and consequently it is difficult to find....

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
