Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of seashells, specifically exploring several lesser-known families of mollusks. The author, a keen observer of the natural world, meticulously describes various species, including the Tornatella, Pyramidella, Thracia, Harpa, and Buccinum, with a focus on their distinctive physical characteristics, anatomical structures, and unique behaviors. The bookââ â¢s approach aligns with the burgeoning scientific exploration of the natural world during the 19th century, a time when scientists were actively seeking to categorize and understand the diverse forms of life on Earth. The authorââ â¢s detailed descriptions of the mollusks' shells, internal anatomy, and even their feeding habits, reflect the meticulous approach of naturalists of the period. Beyond mere classification, the book explores intriguing themes like the adaptive nature of these creatures, evident in the Harpaââ â¢s unusual method of self-defense through foot amputation. The author also touches upon the concept of variation within species, highlighting the different forms of the Ventricose Harp, demonstrating the intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors shaping their evolution. Ultimately, this book offers a glimpse into the meticulous world of 19th-century natural history, providing readers with insights into the intricate lives of these often overlooked marine creatures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Kiener made use of the famous Delessert collection and that of the Natural History Museum of Paris, together the largest and most varied fund of conchological material on the continent. "He soon put it to good use; and in 1834 he published the first part of his 'Species.'. This exquisitely illustrated iconography, started before the Sowerbys and Reeve began to issue theirs, appeared at intervals up to 1879, when eleven volumes had been completed. All devoted to the illustration of marine gastropods with the exception of the tenth volume, which includes a monograph on the bivalve genus Thracia. The eleventh volume is the work of Paul Fischer. All the illustrations are by celebrated French engravers and artists of the day" (Dance, Hist. of Shell Collecting, p. 137). This beautifully illustrated iconography on shells is still a valuable work of reference because of the new species described in it. Our set is incomplete, with only 573 of altogether 902 handcoloured plates. 1569 pp., 573 handcol. pls, 10 contemp. volumes half-leather bound.
