Snail, the Oyster, and the Cuttlefish belong the Mollusca. Especial attention has, therefore, been given to their history, relationships, and everyday life (ecology), with only general notes on their anatomy, classification and distribution, etc. The numerous illustrations it is hoped will prove helpful to students. Many figures have been specially drawn by Miss G. M. Woodward, but most of them first appeared in the late Dr. S. P. Woodward s Manual of the Mollusca, the original drawings and engravings for which are in the possession of the writer.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating introduction to the world of mollusks. From their appearance and behavior to their anatomy and complex internal organization, the author explores the diversity and commonalities of these creatures. Mollusks, the author writes, "differ very much among themselves in external form.[but] exhibit a remarkable uniformity in their internal organization." The book delves into this internal organization to describe the digestive, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems of mollusks. The author also examines the differences between the five main classes of mollusks: Amphineura, Gastropoda, Scaphopoda, Pelecypoda, and Cephalopoda. These range from the basic anatomy of the Amphineura to the highly complex and advanced features of the Cephalopoda, which includes the octopus and squid. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the intriguing world of mollusks and offers new insights into the unique characteristics that make them one of the most diverse and successful groups of animals on the planet.
