Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Biologia Centrali-Americana: Land and Freshwater Mollusca
On the Plates, of which twentv-eight coloured and sixteen uncoloured have been required, 'i have endeavoured to figure not only the new species, but also those previously described that had not been satisfactorily illustrated before. The present Volume, with the above-mentioned works of Fischer and Crosse and Strebel, both indispensable to the student of the Mexican and central-american Mollusca, will therefore include a figure of nearly all the known species of these regions. Moreover, I have in many cases given figures of the young state, or of individual variations, chosen from a large number of specimens obtained at the same locality, to show the various forms of the same species.
