Excerpt from The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma: Mollusca -II (Trochomorphidæ Janellidæ)

It was at first anticipated that the second volume would be the joint production of lieut.-colonel godwin-austen and the present writer. Unexpected circumstances have, however, unfortunately deprived me of the advantage of the former's cooperation. This is the more to be regretted as it involves the loss of a considerable quantity of additional anatomical details, the result of his recent researches, which would have greatly increased the value of the present volume; and, further, that his own collection and that of the late Dr. Blanford - both very rich in Indian Mollusca, and both in the custody of the British Museum - have in consequence been inaccessible to me.
