Remarks
ANSP A15852
remarks Original label gives locality as 'Pipe Spring, Utah'. Although there are localities by this name in Utah, this lot is very likely from Pipe Spring National Monument, Arizona, near the Arizona/Utah border. H. A. Pilsbry visited the north rim of the Grand Canyon in August 1925, and no doubt he passed by and visited Pipe Spring on his way to California. This locality was known to him from specimens sent by his friend James H. Ferriss, from a collecting trip in 1909 with L. E. Daniels, which specimens were included in Pilsbry & Ferriss' (1911) paper on mollusks of the Grand Canyon and vicinity (Proc. ANSP). The 'Utah' locality is probably a lapsus, considering Pipe Spring's proximity to the Utah border and the localized treatment of that part of Arizona north of the Grand Canyon as a part of Utah. (E. E. Spamer)
