Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Writings of Thomas Say, on the Conchology of the United States A large portion of the original manuscript of Mr. Say, and all the works containing his conchological writings are deposited in the noble library of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, in whose collection are still preserved many of the original speci mens from which his descriptions were drawn. I leave to abler hands the rectification of the nomenclature of Say's species, demanded alike by priority of publication, the advance ment of the science, and the much greater facilities for studying them enjoyed by the American conchologist at the present day.
