Our British Snails

A practical natural-history guide to the land and freshwater molluscs of Britain, combining species descriptions, anatomy, and life-history notes with advice for collectors and observers. It explains shell structure and soft-body features, reproductive behavior (including the use of love-darts), hibernation, feeding, and habitat preferences; surveys common and rarer snails, slugs, and freshwater mussels; critiques scientific names and identification challenges; and is illustrated with plates and annotated figures to aid recognition and classification.
