Book Description
Excerpt from Mollusca of the Southwestern States, Vol. 1: Urocoptidae; Helicidae of Arizona and New Mexico In these papers the mollusks collected by Mr. James H. Ferriss and the writer in the expedition made in 1903 and by Mr. Ferriss in two visits to Arizona in 1902 and 1904 will be discussed. The present contri bution deals chiefly with Mr. Ferriss' researches in Arizona, where an extraordinarily rich and varied snail fauna was found in the canyons of the Chiricahua and Huachuca Mountains. In the study of these mate rials I have worked over many specimens received from the late E. H. Ashmun, who first made known to us the richness of the Arizona snail fauna, and from Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, Whose unceasing labors on the fauna and flora of New Mexico are familiar to all naturalists. The treatment of the genus Ashmunella has been made practically mono graphic. It is unfortunate that no good t0pographic survey of southern Ari zona has been published. It is extremely difficult at present to deter mine some localities given by previous naturalists, or to clearly indi cate the positions of those explored by Mr. Ferriss. The accompanying sketch of the canyons explored in the Huachucas makes no pretensions to cartographic accuracy beyond showing the relative positions of the localities mentioned in the text. From Fort Huachuca to Ramsey Canyon is 10 miles; to Carr Canyon 14, and to Miller Canyon 20 miles. Manilla mine is 6 miles from Fort Huachuca. The range is about 30 miles long and 6 wide.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ...has about 38.1.38 teeth. The ectocones are developed on central and lateral teeth. From the twentyfourth or twenty-fifth teeth outward from the middle the inner cusp is bifid. The ectocones are unsplit. A central and two lateral teeth are shown. This snail, so far as the shell is concerned, would be referred without hesitation to A. chiricahuana; the differences being less than the ordinary range of individual variation in Ashmunella or Polygyra; but the genitalia are so utterly unlike in the two forms that it is obvious that they are not even nearly related. From the granulation and the weak traces of teeth it seems that A. metamorphosa is probably a toothless derivative of the A. levettei stock; I regret that I have no alcoholic specimens of A. levettei or A. l. heterodonta for comparison. A. esuritor differs from metamorphosa by its angular or distinctly subangular periphery, rougher surface when perfectly fresh, and perhaps somewhat wider umbilicus; but it must be admitted that the two forms are so similar that their distinction may be diflicult without an examination of the soft parts. The genitalia, however, are so very different that the two species cannot even be closely related. They must be independent derivatives from toothed ancestral forms. I dissected two of the three specimens received. They could be extracted only by breaking into the shell. Having been preserved in alcohol without drowning the specimens were much more contracted than the A. chiricahuana and A. esuretor I examined. A somewhat extensive experience with snails in all conditions of preservation has shown that beyond a moderate diminution of the absolute size, the characters of the genitalia are not altered by preservation of the animal in strong alcohol....
