Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a record of a scientific expedition to the Ellice group, now known as Tuvalu. The author, Charles Hedley, was a zoologist who specialized in mollusks. The expedition took place in 1896 and 1897, and Hedley's book was published in 1900. It is the first comprehensive account of the mollusks of the Ellice group. Hedley's book is divided into two parts. The first part is a general discussion of the mollusks of the region, and the second part is a systematic account of the species that Hedley collected. In the first part, Hedley discusses the different types of mollusks that are found in the Ellice group, and he compares them to the mollusks of other regions. He also discusses the distribution of mollusks in the Ellice group, and he speculates on how they got there. In the second part of the book, Hedley provides detailed descriptions of the species that he collected. He includes illustrations of many of the species, and he provides keys to help readers identify them. Hedley's book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the mollusks of the Ellice group. It is also a valuable historical document, as it provides a snapshot of the state of knowledge about the mollusks of the region at the end of the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
