Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the British mollusks and their shells, specifically those of the families of Gasteropoda from Neritidae to Elysiadae. The author was a Fellow of the Royal Society and an expert on the subject. The other author was a distinguished zoologist. This book follows their previous collaborative text on acephala. It was published in the middle of the 19th century. This book is an important part of the historical record on the taxonomy of British mollusks and has provided the baseline taxonomy for many of the species we still recognize today in British waters. The authors produced this detailed overview of the subject at a time of increased interest in natural history and systematics and this book would have certainly contributed to that interest.

Damon was at first a hosier and glover but with his son Robert Ferris Damon (18451929) he established a dealership in natural history specimens in Weymouth. The company supplied museums throughout North and South America, Australia and Europe with much Dorset geological material, from the late 1840s to 1914. In 1860 Damon wrote Geology of Weymouth and the Isles of Portland; with Notes on the Natural History of the Coast and Neighbourhood which includes a map of the district, geological sections, plates of fossils, and coast views, in 1884 a second edition with archaeological notes was published. He also wrote (and published himself in 1857) A catalogue of the shells of Great Britain and Ireland with their synonyms and authorities. Damon died aged 75 at his museum in Weymouth from heart disease. The species Amoria damonii Gray, and Paramelania damoni were named in his honour.…
