Excerpt from History of British Mollusca, Vol. 1: And Their Shells
Our valued and lamented friend, the late William Thompson, of Belfast, who had devoted years of study to the British Mollusks, aided us, as long as he lived, with every possible assistance that lay in his power. In all that concerns the distribution of Irish species, his hand may be traced, and advice, notes and specimens were con stantly coming from him for our use. For many Of the details that we are enabled to give respecting the distri bution and range of the species described, we owe the fullest thanks to Mr. M'andrew, of Liverpool, who, with a zeal too rarely imitated, has for years spared neither expense nor labour in searching out marine animals in their deepest recesses, a work, often-times, of no small risk and danger.
