Atlantic Shells

Abstract

IT is with a saddened feeling we take up our pen to notice this valuable contribution to malacology; for ere its pages had left the hands of the binder, its talented author had passed “into the shadowy land.”

Testacca Atlantica; or, the Land and Freshwater Shells of the Azores, Madeiras, Salvages, Canaries, Cape Verdes, and Saint Helena.

By T. Vernon Wollaston. Royal 8vo, pp. 588. (London: L. Reeve and Co., 1878.)
