To all interested in land mollusks.....
The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History is pleased to announce the publication of a new book entititled "Checklist of Land Snails and Slugs of California" by Barry Roth and Patricia S. Sadeghian. This work presents an inventory and classification of the 279 species and subspecies of land snails and slugs of California and reports their distribution by county. Type specimens of 64 land snail taxa described by S. Stillman Berry and others are illustrated by 192 full color photographs.
In addition we have a limited number of new copies of the long out-of-print book "The Mollusks of the Arid Southwest, with an Arizona Checklist" by Joseph C. Bequaert and Walter B. Miller (1973). This wonderful provides an inventory, distributional data and extensive field notes of the mollusks of the Southwest United States, including 173 valid species and 46 subspecies.
Information on both of these books is available at: www.sbnature.org/estore or feel free to contact me at the email address below.
