Abstract: This abstract on the egg and larval development of Littorina littorea and L. obtusata was published in the Zoology Section of the 'Abstracts of papers bearing on Irish natural history' at 'The Biological Association of Dublin'. The main focus of the paper is that 'the genus exhibits three stages in the evolution of land from marine Mollusca, with the suppression of larval forms with successive specialisations of habitat'.
