West Coast Shell 

 Collection 



Prepared by Ward's Natural Science Establishment 

 for whitaker & Ray-Wiggrin Co. 



In preparing this collection the aim has been 

 to furnish at small cost a number of West Coast 

 Mollusca vSo selected as to represent the principal 

 families found in this region. This collection 

 contains forty specimens, representing twenty- 

 four families and thirty-seven genera. Every 

 specimen is numbered and placed in a special 

 compartment. With the collection there is a 

 bulletin giving the name and a minute descrip- 

 tion of each specimen. These descriptions are 

 written in a popular rather than a scientific man- 

 ner and treating almost entirely of the shell 

 rather than the animal inhabiting it 



It is hoped by means of this cabinet to arouse 

 interest vSo that it will serve as a nucleus for a 

 larger and more complete collection.
