My son (a chip off the old block) plans a flight to the Dominican Republic. We look into the trip-catalogs and see, there are only sandy beaches, where one can hardly find mollusks. I can't teach him better, because I myself have not experiences from there. Possibly know somebody in our CONCH/L a few places there, where a stay would be worthwhile to collecting. A hotel is not yet booked. The booking would follow the piece of information. I would be very grateful for a few helpful mails. Thanks a lot, Gert Lindner [log in to unmask] Hallo Herr Lindner, ich war noch nicht in der Dominikanischen Republik. Meine Eltern verbrachten bis 2 Urlaube auf dieser Insel. Es gibt einige gute Plätze for fossile Schnecken (ich habe darüber Literatur) aber auch für Landschnecken. Fundorte muß ich aber erst zuhause nachsehen. Charonias, Strombus etc. gibt es günstig zu kaufen. Herzliche Grüße Wolfgang Fischer Wolfgang Fischer Institut fuer Pflanzenbau u.
