Thanks Leslie , I'll try to obtain one , I'll let you know if it was
succesfull .
On this island I collected some ten years ago , very nice Volvarina mitrella
, and a few hundred dead Gibberula miliaria , Now I'll try to collect fresh
dead or better , some sp. on alcohol .
I am not intending to extinct the whole Marginella population on Menorca ,
but I'll try to observe and study .
