When walking along the sand on the beach we often come across shells and ask ourselves: who owned it?
 This classic publication of Brazilian malacology provides the answers with 211 illustrations of Brazilian mollusk shells, including cephalopods, gastropods, bivalves, and scaphopods. It also presents basic aspects of the systematic organization of these animals, arranging them according to the context of malacology at the time.
 Includes an appendix with taxonomic updates of the species in the book.
