Excerpt from A Manual of American Land Shells The following pages form an enlarged and revised edition of The Land and Freshwater Shells of North America, Part I, published by the Smithsonian Institution in 1869. Subsequently-described species are added. Fuller attention is given in separate chapters to the sub jects of geographical distribution, organs of generation, jaw and lingual dentition, and classification. In the descriptive portion of the work the species are grouped geographically rather than systematically, an ar rangement which at first seems awkward to our confirmed habits, but which, on consideration, is justified by the fact that the political di visions of the continent do not agree with the limits of all the various pulmonate faunas.
