Bedfordshire Mollusca (Non-sensitive) (BNHS) - 1940-1994

Bedfordshire and Luton Biodiversity Recording and Monitoring Centre

Description

Mollusca (Snails and slugs). Due to their sensitivity this dataset does not include records of the Roman Snail, Helix (Helix) pomatia, but does include all other recorded species.

Geographic Description

The records cover the eastern and central (vertical) portions of Bedfordshire and Luton (i.e TL02-TL07, TL11-TL16 & TL23-TL25), predominantly vice-county 30.

11,451 records have a 100m grid reference; 3963 have 1km; 173 have 2km.

Purpose

To record the Mollusca within Bedfordshire and Luton. This digital dataset was created by the BRMC (the data provider) by digitizing record cards passed to it from the estate of Beryl (E.B.) Rands. F

Data quality

Observations were verified by the then County Recorder for Mollusca. Some specimens were also determined by national experts. Digitization queries have also been resolved with the assistance of the current County Mollusc Recorder. Although some unintentional inaccuracies may be present, none are currently known.

Methods

Systematic fieldwork that covered all tetrads to some degree.

The majority of records were provided by amateur naturalists who are members of the Bedfordshire Natural History Society (BNHS).

Records were collated by the then BNHS County Recorder for Mollusca, Beryl (E.B.) Rands.
