This book is designed for wide range readers such as for a layman
it will be helpful as a pictorial guide, a popular science book for the
students, text book for the undergraduate and postgraduate students, research
documentation for the researchers and a valuable document for the
scientists. Since, there is a large scale of morphological diversities
exists between the different families of bivalves and gastropods and proper
identification of all these species becomes a menace for the researchers, students
and even to a common man. Therefore, this book will help to fill the
missing link. This book is the reality of a dream viewed by a child while
moving in a beach and now as an author begs to the almighty that it may get a
splendid success. Since similar kind of publications
are scarce in the contemporary literature based on identification and
distribution of mollusca, certainly this book will be
the milestone towards the molluscan research.
