>>Shalom Henk,
>>This raises the question - what were Linnaeus's criteria for
>>including a species in Helix? If land, marine and freshwater shells
>>were included, was the main consideration shape, locality, colour?
>>And when was the decision made to designate separate genera for the
>>different groups?
>>(Still wondering about the correct authorship for Margarites helicinus.)
>>Sincerely, Moshe Erlendur
