Excerpt from Manual of Conchology, Vol. 2: Structural and Systematic With Illustrations of the Species
I may be thought by some, to have treated the species in a too conservative spirit; my object in the investigations of which this work is the result, has been solely to ascertain truth, not to establish, maintain or destroy scientific reputations.

Excerpt from Manual of Conchology, Vol. 2: Structural and Systematic With Illustrations of the Species
In the preparation of the introductory portion of the present volume free use has been made of Keferstein's admirable work, forming part of "Broun's Klassen und Ordnungen d.Thierreichs:" - the most comprehensive treatise on the anatomy of the mollusca which has yet appeared. Of course many additional facts and some corrections have been published since the issue of that work, and abstracts of the most important of these have been herein incorporated. I have endeavored to avoid the prolixity of Keferstein without sacrificing clearness of language, but occasionally quote his very words. The few statements for which I alone am responsible, are made in the first person. The body of literature consulted is too extensive for quotation in a work like this, where much must necessarily be sacrificed for the sake of brevity. Wlilst I have freely used the admirable illustrations of Keiner, Reeve, Sowerby, Kiister, and other monographs. I have added to these hundreds of figures, names and items of information gleaned from fugitive papers and scientific periodicals; so that I am enabled to )resent a carefully arranged, concise account of all that is known concerning the Murices and Purpuræ.
I may be thought by some, to have treated the species in a too conservative spirit; my object in the investigations of which this work is the result, has been solely to ascertain truth, not to establish, maintain or destroy scientific reputations.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the anatomy of the mollusks known as the Murices and Purpurea, a group of marine animals that have been recognized and valued since ancient times for producing the famous Tyrian purple dye.

The author endeavors to present the material in a clear and accessible manner, making it valuable to both professional malacologists and amateur naturalists alike. The insights offered in this book provide a deeper understanding of the biology of these remarkable animals and contribute to our knowledge of the rich diversity of life in the oceans.
