It would therefore unnecessarily occupy space to give tables of the whole for each region. LAND SHELLS.--The more important families being cosmopolite, and the smaller ones being somewhat uncertain in their limits, the reader is referred to the account of the families and genera under each region, and to the chapter on Mollusca in the concluding part of this work, for such information as can be given of their distribution. {239}TABLE II.
