Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide Systematic Distribution, Vol. 1: Mollusca in the British Museum The object of the present Work is to explain the manner in which the Collection of Mollusca and their shells is arranged in the British Museum, and especially to give a short account of the chief characters, derived from the animals, by which they are distributed, and which it is impossible to exhibit in the Collection. The figures referred to after the names of the species, under the genera, are those given in "The Figures of Molluscous Animals, for the Use of Students, by Maria Emma Gray, 3 vols. 8vo, 1850 to 1854;" or when the species has been figured since the appearance of that work, in the original authority quoted. The concluding Part is in hand, and it is hoped will shortly appear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
