What are Snails? 



AN INQUIRY FROM MASTER HORTOX OF 

 STAMFORD, CONN. 



Snails are of the order Mollusca, one 

 of the great divisions of the animal 

 kingdom. It includes all the shellfish 

 proper. All these creatures have soft 

 bodies and are not supported by any 

 internal framework that may be called 

 a skeleton. The two shells like clam 

 or oyster are Pelecypoda. The single 

 shell generally in the form of a spiral 

 (snail) is Gastropoda.

 get into. It can be seen into what a 

 tight place it has gotten itself- One of 

 the spokes has been broken off entire- 

 ly at the rim of the wheel and pressed 

 back against another spoke. The spoke 

 in front of the tree is also about to 

 break because of outward pressure of 

 the tree.
