Creator Transcript
  • Molluscs June 26/42 [1942] Shells of univalves were exceedingly abundant around shores of Mason's swamp, Mile 122 Lac la Hache. Most were Lymnaea [underlined] [freshwater pond snail], some were Planorbis [underlined] [freshwater "ram's horn" snail] + a few [word crossed out] many were a small species like Gyraulis [underlined] [Gyraulus - freshwater "ram's horn" snail]. Three valves were found of a fresh water dam about an inch long - not Anodonta [underlined] [freshwater mussels]. The strange thing was that complete shells were abundant in the water and along the shore line and fragments were present in great quantity in the soil above water line + in the sand but not a living mollusc was seen. June 30 - Shells of bivalves similar to those above were found at Anthony lake; preserved. Also present: Planorbis, Lymnaea, + Physa(?)
