The marine Mollusca of the Atlantic Islands have been intensively studied in recent years. First results were published in the Malacological Fauna from the Cape Verde Archipelago (Rolán 2005). This new volume fills the gap in our knowledge on the fauna of the Canary Islands. Altogether 1300 species are covered The descriptions that accompany the plates are minimal. However, more detailed information is available both in the text and on the CD which accompanies the book.
