This book is the first complete study of the Conidae found in the mid-ocean Seychelles islands. The shells are well illustrated and included are many photographs of the living mollusks taken in their natural habitat. Excellent descriptive information is given to help distinguish the characteristics that can be used to identify the shell's species. The nomenclature primarily follows the two-volume set, "A Taxonomic Iconography of Living Conidae". There is a very good introductory section in this book which illustrates some of the criteria used in cone shell identification. The relatively low price for this book these days will make it one that should be in the libraries of both cone collectors and collectors of all shells.
