SHELLS AND MOLLUSKS. 

 ELEMENTS OF CONCHOLOGY; an Introduction to the 



Natural, History of Shells, and of the Animals which form them. By 

 LOTELL Keeve, F.L.S. Royal 8iro, 3 vols., 478 pp., 62 Coloured Plates, 

 JEa. 16*. 

 Intended as a guide to the collector of shells in arranging and naming his 

 specimens, while at the same time inducing him to study tKem with reference 

 to their once living existence, geographical distrihuljon, and hahits. Forty- 

 six of the plates are devoted to the illustration of the genera of shells, and 

 sixteen to shells with the living animal, all beautifully coloured by hand. 



CONCHOLOGIA ICONICA ; or. Figures and Descriptions 



of the Shells of Mollusks, with remarks on their Affinities, Synonymy, and 

 Geographical Distribution. By Loveil Reeve, F.L.S. Demy 4to, pub- 

 lished monthly in Parts, 8 Plates, carefully coloured by hand, 10*. 

 Of this work, comprising illustrations of Shells of the natural size, nearly 

 3300 Plates are published, but the plan of publication admits of the collector 

 purchasing it at his option in portions, each of which is complete in itself. Each 

 genus, as the work progresses, is issued separately, with Title and Index ; and an 

 Alphabetical List of the published jtenera, with the prices annexed, may be pro- 

 cured of the publishers on application. The system of nomenclature adapted 

 is that of Lamarck, modified to meet the exigencies of later discoveries. With 

 the name of each species is given a summary of its leading specific characters 

 in Lalin and English ; then the authority for tbe name is quoted, accompanied 

 by a reference to its original description ; and next in order are its Synonyms, 

 The habitat of the species is next given, accompanied, where possible, by par- 

 ticulars of soil, depth, or vegetation. JPinally, a few general remarks are offered, 

 calling attention to the most obvious distinguishing peculiarities of the species, 

 with criticisms, when necessary, on the views of other writers. At the com- 

 mencement of the genus some notice is taken of the animal, and the habitats 

 of the species are worked up into a general summary of the geographical distri- 

 bution of the genus.
