This was the first comprehensive work on the Tasmanian non-marine molluscs in which every species is described and illustrated. This handbook is intended to provide field keys to the identification of land and freshwater molluscs in Tasmania and to make available in one volume a checklist, with illustrations, of that fauna. Species inhabiting the littoral fringe have been included as many localities where these can be found have the general appearance of being non-marine. It is a compilation, in abridged form, of the Tasmanian information in the FIELD GUIDE TO THE NON-MARINE MOLLUSCS OF SOUTH-EASTERN AUSTRALIA published by the same authors in 1979.
