Thank you, Carlos Afonso, for generously sharing your information about the Seychelles with us. Most of us will never travel there, so this gives us a chance to live vicariously. Helmut, you are always talking about Austrian land shells. What is it like to collect land snails in Europe? Do you collect on public land, or private? Do you set bait out on the previous night? And so on. Andrew K. Rindsberg Geological Survey of Alabama Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA
