About this title

Synopsis:

This book, written because the author himself could find nothing satisfactory on the subject, is without doubt the most complete and most usable guide to the world's sea shells -- and neither claim is made lightly. All of the over 1,100 shells are illustrated, with those shells in which color is of prime importance shown in the 27 color plates and those in which other characteristics are most important shown in the 27 black-and-white plates. Includes synonyms, popularly used "common names," and descriptions.
