Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in the Achatininae, a Group of African Land Snails I have reproduced the original descriptions of all newly named forms, either as printed if they were in English or Latin, or in transla tion if they were in some other language. This seemed essential for an understanding Of my interpretation of the several names It will also allow future students to agree or disagree with my conclusions. For the same reason I have included in my illustrations copies of most of the original figures or, whenever possible, photographs of the Older types. Words inserted in square brackets in the original descriptions or elsewhere, were added by myself for needed explanation. This includes the metric equivalents of other measures of length.
