The Burren district in Clare (Holiday Apartments, Clare, Ireland) is famous for the race of enormous Helix nemoralis that lives in the chinks of its limestone rocks. These resemble the German Pleistocene form H. tonnensis, Sandberger. Other interesting Munster species are: Hyalinia lucida (widespread, except in the west), Zonitoides excavatus (throughout the province, off the limestone), Helicella barbara (widespread, both on the coast and inland), Hygromia granulata (locally plentiful), Acanthinula lamellata (in every county), Cacilioidcs acicula (local), Pupa anglica (in every county), Vertigo Lilljeborgi (Lough Allua, W. Cork, very rare), V. pusilla (very local), Succinea oblonga (Kerry, Cork, Tipperary, Clare), Paludestrina confusa (estuaries of the Shannon, Suir and Barrow), Acicula lineata (widespread), Margaritana margaritifera (local).
