This book is an equally amazing work and is every bit as well done and as useful as a first source for reference to the mollusks in the class Bivalvia. This book contains complete studies of the seven families that were not coved in the first volume as well as update and correction to that book. In total now the two books contain more than 8500 recognized as species of bivalves in the recent fauna found in 94 families. Equally of importance is a listing of over 10,500 names in synonymy in this class. As was done in the first volume this book is issued with additional information to the text contained on a CD. These books belong on the shelf of every molluscan research institution and on the shelf of collectors who want accurate information about this large class of mollusks.
