Conchologia Systematica, or Complete System of Conchology, Vol. 2 of 2: In Which the Lepades and Conchiferous Mollusca Are Described and Classified ... Organization and Habits (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Conchologia Systematica, or Complete System of Conchology, Vol. 2 of 2: In Which the Lepades and Conchiferous Mollusca Are Described and Classified According to Their Natural Organization and Habits In dividing the great series of Mollusca according to the variations of the organ of locomotion, a very considerable majority of them are found to belong to the present class. The Gasteropoda or ventral-moving mollusks, the Cephala of Deshayes, the Paracephalophora of De Blainville, include all those which acquire motion by the contraction and dilatation of a flat, fleshy, expanded, ventral disc. The greater part of them have a spiral body, inclosed in a spiral shell, and are separated by Lamarck under the title of Trachelipoda or neck-moving mollusks; we shall not, however, pursue this arrangement, because the transition from the straight body as in Limax to the spiral body as in Helix, is too gradual to admit of their being separated.
