Synopsis

This book discusses the impact of mollusk collecting during the Victorian Era on present-day knowledge of conchology. The author describes the collecting habits of people during that era and the role of institutions such as the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland in advancing the study of mollusks. The author also highlights the colorful lives of several of the leading Victorian collectors, many of whom were self-taught naturalists who made significant contributions to the field. The concluding chapter reflects on the legacy of Victorian conchology and its significance to modern malacology.
