Abstract: During a brief malacological survey, a total of 16 snail species were recorded (four mangrove amphibious, 12 terrestrial). For all the species new localities with GPS coordinates and habitat data are provided. The species Thapsia insulsa Preston, 1910 (Urocyclidae) is a new record to the island.
