This reference volume provides a synthesis of the knowledge of Australia's marine, freshwater and terrestrial molluscs. Introductory chapters detail morphology, physiology, natural history, biogeography and phylogeny, history of discovery and economic significance of the phylum, classes and subclasses. Brief order or superfamily treatments introduce accounts for the 420 families of molluscs recorded for Australia and a glossary assists readers less familiar with special terms.
