"A Guide to the Shell and Starfish Galleries" is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an informative guide to the exhibition of mollusks, polyzoans, brachiopods, tunicates, echinoderms, and worms curated in the British Museum's Natural History section. It provides detailed descriptions and classifications of these diverse marine life forms, reflecting the era's fascination with natural history and taxonomy. At the start of the guide, the reader is introduced to the various galleries dedicated to different classes of sea creatures. The preface outlines the exhibition's focus, noting the popularity and study of animal shells and the systematic arrangement of mollusks on display. Specific details about the galleries are provided, such as the guidelines on species types, along with insights on their anatomical features and biology. The opening sets the stage for a more in-depth exploration of each class, inviting both visitors and students of natural history to engage with the fascinating world of marine life.
