A Colony of the Introduced European Snail, Cepaea Nemoralis, at Lynn, Massachusetts
Abstract
W. G. Binney introduced the European land snail Cepaea nemoralis (L.) (formerly placed in genera Tachea and Helix) into North America in 1857. He planted a colony at his home in Burlington, New Jersey, with specimens obtained from Sheffield, England. From his yard this snail spread throughout the town by 1869 (Gould and Binney, 1870). The species was first found in Massachusetts in the town of Marion in Plymouth County.
