Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Separately bound reprint from Field Studies Vol 2 No. 5 (1968) pp 615-650. A short booklet covering the species, subspecies and varieties of Littorina (now well out of date), plus 22 cercarial (trematode) parasites. Although the distribution information relates to the Dale area, the dichotomous keys are more widely applicable. |
