Abstract
A total of 49 terrestrial and seven freshwater molluscs has so far been found in Temengor Forest Reserve. Of the terestrial forms 17 have been found on limestone 19 in forest far from limestone and 13 in both limestone and non limestone habitats. Forest specialist Ariophantids display interesting morphological and behavioral adaptations to their environment. There is a small but significant montane component. Some species which were previously considered restricted to limestone and confined to very restricted sites have now been found in far distant places in the forest. The results indicate (a) that some limestone specialists occur at low densities through the forest and (b) that dispersal between limestone hills probably relies upon the existence of continuous intervening forest cover. The implications for conservation are serious
