To what extent are the Achatinellidae and other Hawaiian land snails
"protected".  By Hawaiian state law only?  Or are they on the
International Endangered Species List, and therefore illegal to sell
in the United States?  This is of interest to me because I have quite
a few specimens, from an old collection I purchased.  While I am on
the subject, a technical point I have wondered about in the past - if
it is illegal to sell a specimen (such as the Manus Island emerald
tree snail), is it also illegal for a collector to trade such a
specimen to another collector?  Technically, this might be considered
"barter", which for all practical purposes is a sale.  Also, is it
technically illegal to possess such specimens, or only to sell them?
