Note on locality - The Pares have long been rather neglected since travellers were always going from the coast or the Usambaras to further inland and many never stopped for more than a short time; only some botanists have collected there at all thoroughly and I have seen very few molluscs from the region. The mountain tops are now largely denuded of forest but pockets remain on the north and south slopes. The Pares belong to the same complex fault-system as the Usambara Mts. with bounding faults of the NW-SE elongated fault-blocks and the Teita Hills probably belong to the same phase; the principal movements occurred in the Tertiary.
