MUSSEL FAUNA OF MAUMEE RIVER. S^ DISCUSSION OF MUSSEL SPECIES. 1. Qitadnda fuherculata (Rafinc^^qne). Purple warty-back. Thisis not a very common species of mussel in the Maumee or its tribu-taries, only a few occasional examples having been taken. It wasmost abundant in the upper portions of the river, near Fort Wayne,and down as far as Maumee Center Bridge. No living exampleswere obtained below Defiance, Ohio, and only a very few dead shellswere picked up below here, the last one being obtained at Waterville,Ohio. All specimens seen were kept, and only about 52 were obtainedin the Maumee system altogether. The range of this species is givenby Simpson as Mississippi drainage generally; southern Michigan;San Saba County, central Texas. While it is in the main a Missis-sippi form, it is one of those species which occur occasionally withinthe St. Lawrence Basin, and although not usually a lake-dwellingspecies a few old valves w^ere found along the shore of Put-in Bay,The Maumee examples
