Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive overview of the taxonomy of neritids and neritopsids, two kinds of aquatic snails with similar appearances. Originally published between 1855 and 1887, the author provides a complete revision of previous work, using the opercula of the snails as the basis for the classification. In addition to detailed descriptions of the types of snails, including their habitats, the book includes 9 detailed plates with nearly 100 figures illustrating the anatomical features of the species. The author describes not only the physical characteristics of each species but their behavior and habits of movement as well. This book will be of great interest to malacologists. It remains an important reference work because of its thoroughness, despite the advancements made in the study of neritids and neritopsids since the book's original publication.
