Descripción

Cambridge, MA, The Museum of Comparative Zoölogy, 1908. 8vo (23.0 x 14.6 cm). 283 pp., 22 engraved plates with explanatory text leaves, including three large, folded, maps (one colour-printed). Later green buckram. Spine with gilt title. Original printed wrappers bound in. = The complete bivalve, gastropod and scaphopod section (and the brachiopods) of one of the most important zoological dredging operations along the tropical coasts of the Gulf of California, Central and South America. Massive numbers of, often spectacular, new molluscs and other marine invertebrates were collected. Nearly all species are new. A very good, clean copy. From the library of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020), however, without his stamp. A surprisingly rare publication.
