    Under roadside debris (man-made trash pile) at 95 Hanover Street, behind the Duval Container Company at 91 South Myrtle Avenue, Jacksonville, Duval Co., Florida 4/13/2009 (25 mm.) Bulimulus are not uncommon in southeastern Florida, where they were introduced from the West Indies. However, their discovery in Duval County by Harry G. Lee during a shopping trip on 2/13/2009 represents the first time that they have been recorded from northeast Florida, over 200 miles from the nearest known population.
