This is a complete guide and revision of this popular group of Volutes found on the east coast of Australia. The wide variation in color, shape and pattern found in these shells is illustrated in color on the plates. There is minimal text but the photos do a good job of getting the message across. If these shells truly deserve the separate subspecific classifications that they are given is l a debateable issue. This publication is quite rare now. |
