ABSTRACT
A survey and collection of the snails of medical importance were conducted in June, 1980 on Kinmen Islands. More than 2,700 snails were collected from 23 different localities. They were preserved, carefully classified, and compared in habitat distribution with snails of Taiwan. A total of fourteen species of snails was found. This study has led to the establishment of snail fauna of Kinmen. The relationships of these snails with some snail-borne diseases are discussed.
