Overview

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Mollusca in the Collection of the British Museum, Vol. 1: Cephalopoda Antepedia The chief objects in forming the present Synoptical Cata logue have been, to exhibit at one view a complete list of all the specimens of mollusca at present in the British Museum collection, and to furnish such an account of the species known to exist in other collections, but which are at present desiderata in the British Museum, as the materials at hand would permit me to compile, in order to enable travellers, collectors, and others, to assist in completing the national collection. For this purpose, short descriptions have been given of all the genera and species of recent Mollusca at present known to exist in the different museums and private collections, and of the better-known fossil species of the various families.
