Item description from seller

This exciting publication encompasses the ecology and evolutionary history of the popular genus Oliva. Over 300 species, subspecies, and color forms are described and illustrated, many of them for the first time. All described shells are clearly illustrated in the 39 color plates. To aid both professionals and amateurs in accurate identification of members of this genus, a zoogeographic review, with maps showing distributions of all known species, is included. A new systematic arrengement that recognizes 19 subgeneric groupings (10 described for the first time) makes the Atlas of the Living Olive Shells of the World an invaluable tool for shell collectors, malacologists, marine biologists, and naturalists. 253 pp., 39 color pls, 33 figs, linen bound 8 [14.5 x 22 cm] [with dust jacket].
