Sea Slugs of Atlantic Canada and the Gulf of Maine

Patrick Colgan is the former executive director of the Canadian Museum
of Nature.

While not the most charismatic fauna, sea slugs are a fascinating group
of animals. This welcome field guide to the natural history of the Bay
of Fundy region focuses on the diversity and general biology of sea
slugs; outlines the methods for collecting, preserving, and
photographing the molluscs; and provides pictorial keys for identifying
47 species as well as full descriptions of each species. The
descriptions are presented in a chatty format, and include such
intriguing tidbits as the ability of at least one species to pump out
free sulphuric acid. The pocket-sized guide also includes useful line
drawings, a glossary of terminology, appendices, and an index.

Sea Slugs of Atlantic Canada and the Gulf of Maine is highly
recommended for coastal natural-history collections.
