Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pearly Nautilus (Nautilus Pompilius, Linn.): With Illustrations of Its External Form and Internal Structure
Pliny and the ancient writers on Natural History who succeeded Aristotle did little more than repeat his account of the singular habits of his first species of Nautilus - the Argonauta of the moderns, whilst his second species was passed over in silence.
