During a one-day visit tot Saba in 1991 seven species of terrestrial snails were collected. All shells were collected empty. Two species among them, i.e. Bulimulis lehmanni (L. Pfeiffer, 1868) and Opeas hannense (L. Pfeiffer, 1840), were not yet reported from Saba. In drift collected in 1991 along the northeast coast of Sint Maarten one specimen of Praticolella spec. was found. Also this species was not reported before from Sint Maarten.
