Excerpt from Our Country's Shells and How to Know Them: A Guide to the British Mollusca His book, like the rest of the series: is intended as an introductory working manual for the collector, the object of its analytical tables being to enable him to name any specimen in the British list without reading more than is needful for that one purpose.

Every living species Of the sub-kingdom generally claimed as a native of our country is here sufficiently described to distinguish it from the rest, whether it has a shell or not; thus rather a wider range is covered than the main title would indicate, as many of the mollusca do not have shells. The coloured plates include all the species having shells, and these are drawn the size of life or enlarged in the case of those too small to be clearly shown and then their natural dimensions are given alongside.
