ST SHELLS 



Edition] 



is far superior to its predecessors. The price, 

 however, has not been increased. The de- 

 scriptions of shells are written in a style that 

 anv collector can understand, and many hints 

 on gathering specimens and items of human 

 interest are interspersed with the more tech- 

 nical portions of the book, making it suitable 

 for school reading. 



SPECIAL FEATURES 



A Glossary, A Biographical Index, an Ap- 

 pendix, and an accented index of Latin Names 

 make the book more complete and useful. It 

 will be found of the greatest assistance to 

 those who visit the seashore, and it should 

 also have a place in all school and public 

 libraries as a book of reference, it being the 

 only descriptive book which treats fully of 

 our Western Shells. 



The present edition contains 346 pages of 

 printed matter, and five full page plates, two 

 of which are beautifully colored. The text 

 is also illustrated by 300 separate engravings. 

 The book is carefully printed on fine, heavy 

 paper, and neatly bound in cloth. Price 

 $2.00 net.
