| Seashells of Brazil
by E.C. Rios
1994,
Fund. Cid do Rio Grande & others, Brazil, English, laminated paper
covers, 368 pages text and 113 page size black & white plates,
mostly photographs some drawings. Page size is 8¼ by 10½ inches(21 by27
cm)
This is a very complete
illustrated guide to the many varied forms of molluscan life found in
the waters of Brazil. It is an essential reference work for collectors
and researchers alike. This is the second of the four works by Dr. Rios
and some say that this is the most significant of the four. Although
there is no color in the book the black and white photographs and the drawings of the mollusks
that could not be photographed as well as the anatomical drawings make
this book one that can readily be used. The text is basic, essentially a
brief description of each classification of the shells and reference to
its' range and size.
