Mollusca of India, Vol. 1: Including South Arabia, Baluchistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Nepal, Burmah, Pegu, Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula, Ceylon, and Other Island of the Indian Ocean (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Mollusca of India, Vol. 1: Including South Arabia, Baluchistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Nepal, Burmah, Pegu, Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula, Ceylon, and Other Island of the Indian Ocean In issuing the First Part of 'Land and Freshwater Mollusca of India, ' the undersigned is attempting to carry out what the editors of the 'Conchologia Indica' express a hope of at the end of their Preface. They say that work was never intended to be exhaustive, but to assemble in one book species which were dispersed in scores of other volumes. I can hope to do but little more. But the 'Conchologia Indica' was brought to an end before the editors had exhausted all the known species from India; and since then a very large number of new forms have been discovered in that vast country, with its varied climate and conditions, and where every year new areas are visited by the naturalist and collector. Although I have published many new species brought together by myself, there are still many left in my collection; while H. F. and W. T. Blanford, Col. Beddome, W. Theobald, Geoffrey Nevill, Col. Mainwaring, Dr. Hungerford, Dr. Townshend, Professor J. Bayley Balfour in Socotra, Messrs. M. T. Ogle, A. Chennell, W. Robert, and H. Godwin-Austen have added many an additional species to the list, so that there is no lack of material. With the aid of the above gentlemen and others I hope to make this supplementary work as valuable as its predecessor.
