Malacology
Malacology is the study of mollusks. This includes animals like octopus, snails, slugs, and clams. It is the second largest phylum of animals, making them one of the most successful groups on the planet. There are over 80,000 described species of mollusks with many more left to be discovered. Mullusca is composed of 8 recognized classes including Cephalopoda, Gastropoda, Polyplacophora, Scaphapoda, Monoplacophorans, the Aplacophorans, Caudofoveata and Solenogastres, and Bivalvia.

Original Description:
Testa tenui, lucida, oblique ovata, acuminata, reflexa, cerea et ad apicem rubicunda, leviter striata et lineis obscuris volventibus insculpta ; anfr. 3 perobliquis, supernis parvulis, tumidis, sutura profunda ; apertura ovata, trientes duae longitudinis testae aequante, basi rotundata ; columella arcuata, absque plica, leviter arrecta ; intus micante. Long ½ , lat. ½ poll. Hab. near Lake Concordia. At first view, this might be mistaken for Limnea columella. Its color and texture are like S. amphibia, from which it differs chiefly in the slight upturning of the edge of the columellar lip, the presence of the obscure revolving lines and the ruddy apex.
