CENTRAL AMERICA 



CHAP. 



The land operculates are but scanty. Tomocyclus and Amphi- 

 cyclotus are peculiar, and Schasieheila^ a form of Helicina^ occurs 

 elsewhere only in the Bahamas. Ceres (see Fig. 18, C, p. 21) and 

 Proserpme??a, two remarkable forms of non-operculate Helicinidae 

 (compare the Chinese Heudeia)^ are quite peculiar. PacTiycMlus^ 

 one of the characteristic fresh-water genera, belongs to the S. 

 American (Melaniidae) type, not to the N. American (Pleuro- 

 ceridae). Among the fresh-water Pulmonata, the Aplecta are 

 remarkable for their great size and beauty. In the accompany- 

 ing table " Mexico " is to be taken as including the region from 

 the United States border up to and including the isthmus of 

 Tehuan tepee, and "Central America" as the whole region south 

 of that point.
