^// MOLL ^ DESCRIPTIVE MANUAL BRITISH LAND FRESH-WATER SHELLS CONTAINING DESCEIPTIONS AND FIGURES OF ALL THE SPECIES, BY DIXON AND WATSON Ik PEINTED FOR DIXON AND WATSON, AYTON SCHOOL, NEAR STOKESLEY. DAELINGTON:HARRISON PENNEY, PRINTER, PREBEND ROW. 1858. J •/ ■■^ ^..^ilM imfjfn % ^ FEB 2 0 1939 4 PREFACE. It is to be regretted tliat the study of one of tlie mostpleasing, and, at the same time, most accessible natural his-tory pursuits—the Land and Eresh-water Mollusks of ourisland—is so much neglected. True, it is, that they aresurpassed, both in size and beauty of colouring, by theirbrethren of the ocean, and for that reason, perhaps, havebeen overlooked by many ; yet there are among these littlegems of nature, such beautiful forms, and delicate conforma-tions, that they soon arrest the attention and interest ofthose, who once commence either to collect or study them. We believe this branch of natural history will, some day,become much more popular than it is at present.
