Book Description

Excerpt from A Synopsis of the Classification of the Fresh-Water Mollusca of North America, North of Mexico, and a Catalogue of the More Recently Described Species: With Notes It has been many years since the students of the North American fresh water mollusca have had at their service a concise and complete Synopsis of the classification in general use. The several monographs published by the Smithsonian Institution of W. G. Binney and Prime in 1865 and Tryon in 1873, together with Lea' 5 last Synopsis m 1870, gave a very complete representation of the systematic arrangement in use at that time. Tryon' s Monograph of the Fresh water Mollusca of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
