Dear Sophie,

sorry that I was not able to update the colors on my computer, as the
computer specialist at
the moment has not time for me. He has to download a higher solution for me.
So please until beginning of next week, when I am going to the museums
computer to
have a look.
with best shelling greetings
Helmut

Hello,

As it seems fairly  quiet around, may I propose for ID some
landsnails / freshwater from East coast of peninsular Malaysia. Of
course, the advice of our expert Jeoff Macaulay will be welcome but
if you've got an idea feel free !
The exact place is : Perhentian island, Teluk dalam. The species are
for sure very commun but I have no knowledge in this area. I put
tentative genus names. Most of the shells were founded in the jungle
except the Faunus ater (beach combing) and the Amphidromus (beach
combing and in a clearing). The land is acid, no limestone but
something which looks like what we call "grès" in French perhaps
sandstone.
