Guide to the Freshwater Molluscs of Cubaby Pontier, Yong & Gutierrez
2005, ConchBooks, Germany, 119 pages, cardboard covers, glued binding, 6.5 by 9.5 inches(16 by 24 cm.)
This is the first study of the small be very varied population of
freshwater shells that are found in Cuba. In all the authors report on
41 species that can be found, 9 bivalves and 32 gastropods. The book is
very nicely written and the illustrations of the shells and their
habitats are outstanding Using this book is almost like going on a
collecting trip to Cuba. There is also an excellent illustrated key for
the identification of the shells. Even someone like me, who knows next
to nothing about fresh water shells found this to be an interesting
book. |
