Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Terrestrial Mollusca Inhabiting the Society Islands
They are widely diffused throughout Polynesia, ranging from the lowlands near the seashore to several thousand feet above sea-level. A majority of the species are strictly terrestrial, and delight in moist stations, hiding beneath decaying leaves, under rotten wood and among loose stones. Others are entirely arboreal, on the foliage of shrubs and ferns. A number of the species are gregarious.
