Land snails from the Pleistocene of Southern Texas

Author: Leslie Hubricht (Remington Rand)

Abstract

Of the nine Pleistocene localities reported on here, seven are loess. These contain such northern and mountain species as Discus cronkhitei, Pupilla blandi, Cionella lubrica f. exigua, Vallonia gracilicosta, and Pomatiopsis lapidaria which indicate that the climate was colder and wetter when these deposits were laid down than at present. The other two localities are silt deposits.
