Taxonomy.


For the taxonomy of the Mollusca we used the very comprehensive "Classification of Mollusca" by Victor Millard, 2001 as a basic system. In this work not only the now living Mollusca are included, but a lot of fossil genera as well. Millard dit however not use a numbersystem. Therefore his book is not suitable to set up a collection. For our own use we made a scedule for our collections based on Millard, but with a numbersystem and with omission of all not shellbearing Mollusca.

We feel not free to give this to you in all, not wishing to bypass Millard. We give only an example:



Subordo Volutina



With help of this scedule we arrange our drawers and pictures. This taxonomic info is also automatically brought in for all our dataprocessing and label making.
