"Australian Marine Shells - is a twovolume set which describes and illustrates over 2,400 species of Australian Marine Prosobranch Gastropods. Popular families like the cowries, murex, cones and volutes are given comprehensive treatment. With over 100 stunning colour plates photographed by Patrick Baker, 600 line illustrations drawn by Carina Wilson, and colour photographs of live animals, these beautiful books make an invaluable addition to the library of the shellcollector, marine scientist and naturalist. Vol. I describes and illustrates gastropod species from the limpets through to the parasitic eulimids, and includes information on geographic distribution, habitat and synonymies. The volume presents an introduction on collecting and preserving shells, biology and nomenclature. Vol. II deals with the neogastropods from the murex shells to the turrids. Both books contain a substantial index and cite many references to studies on the taxonomy and biology of Australian gastropods. "
