Excerpt from The Shell Book: A Popular Guide to a Knowledge of the Families of Living Mollusks, and an Aid to the Identification of Shells Native and Foreign Every person interested in shells has felt the need Of a man ual 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. Small hand-books serve as guides to the seashore, but they treat only detached portions Of the great kingdom, Mollusca. What is needed for more serious study is a larger book in which the families Of mollusks are arranged in their proper order, to give a general idea Of the size and Scope Of the important genera, and their natural relationships. Such a popular guide should give precedence to the accepted English names Of the families and Of the individual species described, while attaching to each its scientific name. It is quite possible to give the general reader the information he desires in his own language, without sacrifice Of scientific accuracy. A book Of this kind must be the outgrowth Of extensive acquaintance with living mollusks in their natural surroundings, or it will be as dead as the shells in a cabinet, and dry as the dust on the Old shell catalogues. It must bring together as much as can be found out about the habits Of the mollusks described, and the uses people make Of them, if they have any economic value. Many shells have never yet been seen alive; others are practically unknown. It is astonishing how little is known about many species of mollusks.
