Excerpt from The Molluscan Fauna of the Big Vermilion River, Illinois: With Special Reference to Its Modification as the Result of Pollution by Sewage and Manufacturing Wastes, With Fifteen Plates and Eleven Tables The present paper embodies the result of investigations of the mollusk fauna of one of the smaller rivers of the State of Illinois, the Big Vermilion, carried on during the years 1918 to 1920. To this are added notes on another river, the Sangamon, for comparison.
