Descrizione

Auxerre, Ch. Milon (for the Société des Sciences historiques et naturelles de l'Yonne), 1908. 8vo (23.5 x 15.6 cm). 85 pp. [numbered 193-277]; one photographic plate with explanatory text leaf. Original printed wrappers in protective blind wrappers. = One of several mid-19th to early 20th century French regional catalogues of non-marine molluscs. Almost every département had its own keen malacologist tackling the local malacofauna. This one was written the French malacologist, [Commandant] Émile Caziot (1844-1931). Offprint from the society's Bulletin, with a new title page. As almost all such catalogues, this one is rare. Provenance: stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in the top margin of the wrappers. Front wrapper a bit creased and soiled, otherwise, however, a very good, clean copy.
