Achatinella was subject to extremely heavy "predation" by shell collectors during the period of, say, 1870 to 1940; collecting tree snails was a common hobby among high school boys, and some of the collections amassed during that period included 10s of thousands of live-collected shells.

Even so, however, when I was first introduced to Achatinella in the 1960s, you could still find dozens in a couple of hours work in areas that were close to town and that had been heavily harvested by earlier generations of shell collectors they had of course disappeared from other areas, chiefly those where the native forest had disappeared over the previous 100 years or so; indeed, by 1900 or so, local collectors were noting the disappearance of species that Pease and Gulick had collected 50 years earlier.
