ELEMENTS OF CONCHOLOGY ; an Introduction to the 
Natural History of Shells, and of the Animals which form them. By 
Lovet REEVE, F.L.S. Royal 8vo, 2 vols., 478 pp., 62 Coloured Plates, 
£2. 16s. 
Intended as a guide to the collector of shells in arranging and naming his 
specimens, while at the same time inducing him to study them with reference 
to their once living existence, geographical distribution, and habits. Forty- 
six of the plates are devoted to the illustration of the genera of shells, and 
sixteen to shells with the living animal, all beautifully coloured by hand. 
CONCHOLOGIA ICONICA ; or, Figures and Descriptions 
of the Shells of Mollusks, with remarks on their Affinities, Synonymy, and 
Geographical Distribution. By Lovett Reeve, F.L.S. Demy 4to, pub- 
lished monthly in Parts, 8 Plates, carefully coloured by hand, 10s. 
Of this work, comprising illustrations of Shells of the natural size, nearly 
2300 Plates are published, but the plan of publication admits of the collector 
purchasing it at his option in portions, each of which is complete in itself. Each 
genus, as the work progresses, is issued separately, with Title and Index ; and an 
Alphabetical List of the published genera, with the prices annexed, may be pro- 
cured of the publishers on application. The system of nomenclature adopted 
is that of Lamarck, modified to meet the exigéncies of later discoveries. With 
the name of each species is given a summary of its leading specific characters 
in Latin and English; then the authority for the name is quoted, accompanied 
by a reference to its original description; and next in order are its Synonyms. 
The habitat of the species is next given, accompanied, where possible, by par- 
ticulars of soil, depth, or vegetation. Finally, a few general remarks are offered, 
calling attention to the most obvious distinguishing peculiarities of the species, 
With criticisms, when necessary, on the views of other writers. At the com- 
mencement of the genus some notice is taken of the animal, and the habitats 
of the species are worked up into a general summary of the geographical distri- 
bution of the genus.
