In
almost all cases the nomenclature of Gray's Manual has been followed,
and in parentheses, that used in the Illustrated Flora of Britton and
Brown is given. Indices to the Latin and English names and to
technical terms are included. The many illustrations are helpful.
ROGERS, J.E.
The Shell Book.
Doubleday. 4.00
Every person interested in shells has felt the need of a (p. 223)
manual of the shell-bearing animals of sea and land, comparable
to the comprehensive manuals provided for those who wish to study
birds or insects or trees.... The plan and nomenclature of this
book follow the accepted standard, The Manual of Conchology, by
Tryon and Pilsbry.--_Preface._
Miss Rogers has made an extensive study of conchology on the east and
west coasts of North America. The result is this popular guide to a
knowledge of the families of living mollusks, which is also an aid to
the identification of shells native and foreign. There is a chapter on
the maintenance of aquariums and snaileries. Eight of the plates are
in color, and ninety-six in black and white for the most part from
photographs by A.R. Dugmore.
ROGERS, J.E.
