Synopsis

This book serves as an expansive guide to the study of testaceous animals and their homes, leading readers through an analysis of 1000 different species of multivalve, bivalve and univalve shells. The author draws from the Linnaean system of classification, with references to species known by today's scientists. Comprehensive in scope, this work includes not only details of species found off the British coast but also of shells from across the globe, both ancient and modern. Rare and unusual species are given their due prominence alongside more familiar examples. Written by an anonymous author but arranged with great care and attention to detail, this book will be of great use to anyone seeking to increase their knowledge of testaceous animals and their shells.
