Excerpt from Illustrations of the Land and Fresh Water Conchology of Great Britain and Ireland: With Figures, Descriptions, and Localities of All the Species; Drawn and Coloured From Nature In the choice of specific names, I have for the most part adopted those of Colonel Montagu, whose work is entitled to the highest praise, from the clearness and simplicity of its descriptions of species; many of which were given prior to those of Continental writers on this branch of science; whose specific names I have given in the numerous synonyms. I have added to the illustrations, figures of an animal of nearly each genus, with short descriptions of their Generic Characters in an appendix, which I thought preferable to mixing them up in the text.
