TRANSVERSE, when its greatest extension is 
at right angles to the axis, as in Helix AN

Fig. 79.—Example: Helix lapicida L., St. Vincent Rocks, Clifton, near Bristol. 
This first part treats of the classification, nomenclature, forms 
and parts of shells, species and variation; each subject is well 
illustrated. The student is saved the needless trouble of turning 
back to find the illustrations referred to in the text, as these are 
repeated wherever necessary—a sure way of giving the reader a 
clear notion of the meaning the author is wishful to convey. 
In a sentence, we may say, Mr. Taylor’s ‘ Monograph of the Land 
and Freshwater Mollusca of the British Isles’ is a book printed on 
good paper, with clear type, properly displayed, excellent and 
original illustrations, full of close and sound reasoning, well balanced 
subjects, and giving (as few books have given) credit to those 
workers who have made and are making the study of British 
Conchology worth following for its own sake. 
We heartily wish the author success in his work.
