Comments and Corrigenda The figures aren't numbered quite sequentially. No doubt there was a good reason, but it can be slightly confusing.
Coverage About 140 commonest of the 230+ British species known at the time. The others are rare.
Illustrations Line drawings.
Identify In the Hand (also useful to examine with x8 or x10 hand lens).
Difficulty The keys are for identifying whole animals. Features of the soft parts are often used so there may be problems identifying dead shells.
