Natural history; Natural history -- New York (State); Science; Science -- New York (State). with a revision of the Limnceidce of Authors. 345 tained the remains of the animal. By boiling these in potash, the odontophore was obtained. The jaw appeared to resemble that of Pompholyx, but was so injured by the process that its outline could not be made out. Fig. Radtda of Carinifex Neicberryi.— Central Teeth (deformed?). A. Jaw (imperfect ?). The remainder of the figure is reliable. The rhachidian tooth, in this specimen, was apparently mal- formed throughout the entire length of the ribbon. It was one- sided and unsymmetrical—not an uncommon malformation among pulmonates. A few more normal than the rest ap- peared to resemble the same tooth in Pomjpholyx, but possessed only one denticle instead of two. The entire odontophore re- sembled that of Pompholyx, except in its greater breadth and more numerous uncini ; and in the greater lateral prolongation of the bases of the teeth; while the cusps were somewhat smaller in proportion to the bases than in that genus. The first lateral is broad trilobed and resembles the same tooth in Pompholyx, except in the wider base and Slightly shorter cusp. The same may be said of the next nine laterals. The eleventh and succeeding laterals, which, for distinction, I will call uncini, exhibit some difference of form. Their bases are much prolonged laterally, the shafts are slender, and the short rounded cusps carry from three to five denticles. These ex- hibit some irregularity, as is usual in this part of the ribbon. The extreme outer uncini have shorter shafts and bases, and the cusps are almost, if not quite simple. The line in which the teeth are set is more curved than in Pompholyx. The formula is , and there are about one hundred and fifty rows. The MAT, 1870. 23 Ann. Nat. Hist.
