The Collector's Manual of British Land and 

 Freshwater Shells, containing figures and descriptions of 

 every species, an account of their habits and localities, hints on 

 preserving and arranging, etc. ; the names and descriptions of all 

 the varieties and synoptical tables showing the differences of 

 species hard to identify, by Lionel Ernest Adams, B.A. ; 

 illustrated by Gerald VV. Adams and the author. 



This little book aims to supply the beginner in Conchology 

 with instructions for the collection, identification, and systematic 

 arrangement of the land and freshwater shells of the British Isles. 

 As a means of facilitating the naming of the species composing 

 the difficult genera, Zonites and Vertigo, the author has framed 

 synoptical tables of the differences between the most closelyaUied 

 species of these groups. The work is modelled upon the late Dr. 

 Jeffreys' ' British Concholog}',' from which work the present 

 volume is mainly compiled. There are nine plates, on which every 

 species is figured, and in addition, the apertures of the ClausiUse, 

 &c., are shown on an enlarged scale; all the illustrations are 

 engi-aved on copper plate. At the end of the work is a very 

 useful glossary of the most commonly used technical terms, and 

 an index to the plates and text. We trust this little work will 

 foster and extend the growing taste for the study of our land and 

 freshwater shells, as the low price 5/6, at which it is published, 

 places it within the reach of everyone. — J.W.T.
