MOLLUSKS OF THE ATLANTIC COAST OF THE 



UNITED STATES SOUTH TO CAPE HATTERAS. 



AUSTIN C. APGAR. 



In the following Key and descriptions of Mollusks, the object 

 in view has been to enable students to become familiar with 

 molluscan forms in the same way that men learn to know the 

 plants and vertebrates of the land ; by such agencies as the Keys 

 of Gray's, and Wood's Botanies, and Jordan's, and Coues' works 

 on Vertebrates. The most artificial Keys are the most successful 

 with beginners. In this Key, accordingly, no great attempt has 

 been" made to follow any advanced classification by referring to 

 the anatomical parts upon which such a classification is based.
