Abslrfltl: Based on partly l'O'orked up material from three brief eolleetinll eJCcursions to the peninsular sOOn: of Oolfo Dulce, 252 species of $hclled gastropods, mostly prosobranehs and pyramidcllids. h.a,·e bc-c:n identified. This being the first n:pon on intenidal and shallow water gastropods from Ihe gulf, the list may be taken as a preliminary check list of this fauna clement from Golfo Dulce.
