ABSTRACT

The dwindling inventory of terrestrial molluscs in this heavily impacted zone of transition communities is documented for the first time since a series of cited publications in 1948. Counting taxa that require further work, approximately 170 taxa at species/subspecies level are known from this district. Half of these appear to be confined to very few populations, for various reasons that require further study and documentation (Fig TM-1).
