Many people helped either directly or indirectly with
this report. Barry Roth (Research Associate, Museum of Paleontology,
University of California, Berkeley) identified Babine Mountain specimens
of Pristiloma chersinella and some other material to which
the Kootenay specimens were subsequently compared. He also kindly
reviewed this paper. Heike Reise (Staatliches Museum fur Naturkunde
Görlitz, Germany) and John M.C. Hutchinson (School of Biological
Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, England) made many suggestions
on the manuscript, provided literature and specimens. H. Reise also
arranged the loan of specimens from Staatliches Museum fur Naturkunde
Görlitz, which she and J. Hutchinson collected in 1998. Frederike
Verspoor (RBCM librarian), Richard E. Petit (North Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina), Harry G. Lee (Jacksonville, Florida) and Rachel
Collin (Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois) assisted
in locating hard-to-find literature. Suzanne Beauchesne (Victoria,
B.C.) and Drew Skinner (Bremerton, Washington) offered advice, information
or specimens, and Tammy Forsyth helped collect specimens and search
out literature.
The key was improved immensely by the suggestions
offered by Larry Williams (Burnaby, B.C.). Thanks to Charles Salekin
who donated the first Columbia Basin record of Cepaea nemoralis
from Nelson, B.C. Thanks to Phil Lambert, who made editorial suggestions
to improve the text. Finally, I would like to thank Peter Newroth
and Philip Lambert, Royal British Columbia Museum, who gave me the
opportunity to take on this project and who, along with Kelly Sendall,
provided the facilities, equipment and other support, and collected
specimens.
