Terrestrial Mollusks of Attu, Aleutian Islands, Alaska
ABSTRACT. Seven species of land mollusk (2 slugs, 5 snails) were collected on Attu in July 1979. Three are circumboreal species, two the fauna was assembled overwater since deglaciation, perhaps within the last 10 OOO years. Mollusk faunas from Kamchatka to are amphi-arctic (Palearctic and Nearctic...
