Seashells

# Seashells.
Of the many objects that Man collects, seashells must rank among the most attractive. This is well shown by the exquisitely painted illustrations in this book which presents a comprehensive survey of the enormous variety of molluscan life to be found in the world’s seas. Particular attention is paid to those animals and shells which are utilized by Man in various ways and to those shells with the greatest value, the rare ones which form the substance of the collector’s dream.
