Conchologia Iconica ; 



Or, Figures and Descriptions of the Shells of Molluscous Animals, with 

 Critical Remarks on their Synonyms, Affinities, and Circumstances of 

 Habitation. By LOVELL REEVE, F.L.S., F.G.S. Published Monthly in 

 Parts, demy 4to, each containing eight plates, price 10$. coloured. 



The 'CONCHOLOGIA ICONICA.' was commenced in January, 1843, with the view of fur- 

 nishing Descriptions and Figures of the natural size of all the known Species and well- 

 marked Varieties of Recent Shells. The existence of so many more Species in England, 

 chiefly in the Cabinets of Mr. Cuming and of the British Museum, than have been collected 

 in any other country, made it desirable that such a Work should be carried out, and the 

 plan was adopted of publishing a Part monthly, each containing Eight Coloured Plates, 

 quarto size, with corresponding Letter-press, at the price of Ten Shillings. 



During the sixteen years that have elapsed 185 Parts have been published, containing 

 1456 Plates of 11,500 Figures, illustrative of 8500 Species, all of which have been drawn by 

 Mr. Sowerby from Typical Specimens, selected, examined, and described by myself. Each 

 Genus, following the system of Lamarck and Deshayes, is completed as a Monograph as 

 the Work proceeds, and purchasers are presented with the option of buying the Genera in 

 that form. No attempt is made at classification, because if I waited to systematize the 

 material before placing it in the hands of Mr. Sowerby, the delay incident to such a course 

 of proceeding would be fatal to the success of the undertaking. On the completion of the 

 Work it is intended to classify the whole of the Species by a system of Sub- genera, that 

 may serve both as an Index to the volumes and as a General Synopsis of the Nomenclature.
