About this Item
Description:
Shells of the Philippines is the first book of its kind devoted entirely to the identification of mollusks occuring within the Philippines. For the first time, shell collectors can avail themselves of a comprehensive guide to most of the shells likely to be encountered in a trip to the islands. Over 1,600 species are illustrated in 100 full color plates, and coverage includes the Gastropoda, the Bivalvia, the Scaphopoda and the Cephalopoda. In addition, four plates are devoted to land snails and freshwater gastropods, covering two groups, some briefly, others more in detail. All species are annotated with the currently accepted scientific name (Including author and date), a brief but concise description, and a distribution profilewithin the archipelago. Many illustrated species are as yet unnamed by science, and still others have never before been illustrated in any identification guide. 377 pp., 100 col. pls, bd. 4. Seller Inventory # W00975
