Abstract
WITH the present part, this work enters on its long-awaited second volume, containing the systematic portion. The first volume was devoted to a sort of general introduction to the study of the Mollusca, with special reference to British forms, and left much to be desired; but this second section should prove of great value, seeing that for many years past the author, ably seconded by Mr. W. D. Roebuck, has been patiently amassing a large amount of very valuable information concerning the distribution and variation of the British non-marine Mollusca. So extended, however, is the plan on which the work is projected that further cooperation is invited and will, we hope, be readily given.
A Monograph of the Land and Freshwater Mollusca of the British Isles.
