Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Monograph of the Terrestrial Mollusca Inhabiting the United States: With Illustrations of All the Species
Whenever good specimens could not be readily obtained for figuring, recourse has been had to previously published figures, and my acknowledgments are due to the works of Messrs. Binney, Bland, Lea and others, for the opportunity afforded by them for completing the illustrations. Very many of the shells are figured for the first time, as this is the first complete monography published since that of Dr. Binney.
The large number of new species described since that period have been classified in accordance with their affinities with those previously characterized.
