Description:
Of the three Guyanas on the north coast of South America, Suriname is the middle one, lying between French Guyana to the east and British Guyana to the west. The frontiers between these three countries are formed by the Marowijne River (Suriname \xe2\x80\x94 French Guyana) and the Courantyne River (Suriname \xe2\x80\x94 British Guyana).\nIn general the Guyanas are much alike in geographical features \xe2\x80\x94 covered with tropical rain forest for the most part and with savannas and swamps for the rest. The freshwater molluscs live in the large rivers and the bush creeks in the hinterland, and in the swamps, canals and trenches in the more or less cultivated coastal plain.
