In the 1970's Harold and Emily Vokes undertook a study of the Yucatan and
published their results.  Also, JJ Parodiz, then curator of mollusks at
the Carnegie Museum, spent several weeks collecting shells from the
Yucatan peninsula.  I have a manuscript copy of Parodiz' paper though I
don't believe it was ever published.  It is not illustrated and is
basically a checklist of what Parodiz found and where on the peninsula
they were found.  This collection is in the Carnegie Museum.
If anyone is interested in Parodiz' checklist I have a few copies
available.  E-mail me OFF OF THE LIST and I will forward a copy.  I will
fill requests until I run out of copies.  If you respond to the list I
will not fill the request! ;-)  Let's be careful and not hit the reply to
the group button.  Thanks.

Regards,
Charlie
