    Observations on the saxicavous habits of Cepaea nemoralis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Pulmonata, Stylommatophora, Helicidae) in the Pyrenees (France)

    ABSTRACT
    Since 1800 numerous geologists and biologists published several papers on the origin of holes in hard limestone observed in several countries of Europe and North Africa assuming that terrestrials snails were responsible for such a perforations. In the present paper a few observations on the saxicavous activities of Cepaea nemoralis (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Pyrenees (France) are reported.
