Summary

Introduction

The malacofauna of the central part of Pomeranian Lakeland, in the region of village S1polno (NW Poland) is being investigated at present. The new site is located on a shore of a small lake near the village Korne, district Konarzyny (Fig. 2 – V.m.). Measurements of 275 shells from the new locality gave the following results: shell height 2.05–2.58 mm (mean 2.29 mm, SD 0.09 mm), shell width 1.40–1.63 mm (mean 1.51 mm, SD 0.04 mm), number of whorls 4.1–4.8 (mean 4.39, SD 0.14), height/width ratio 1.40–1.70 (Figs 4–7). The correlation between the shell parameters was: height-width r=0.59, height-number of whorls r=0.76, width-number of whorls r=0.42.
