Carole, I find myself in the shoes you describe. So thanks for noting the Heritage Biodiversity Libraries in your note.  Maybe I'll find some help there.

Dear Conch-L respondents,
 Thank you again. In the past, to do any kind of research, without access to museum funds for articles and journals, research was really hard and time consuming. It would take many trips to the libraries in Philadelphia, Washington and Miami and many many hundreds of dollars in Xerox fees. This is truly a wonderful medium and I wouldn't want to live in any other time. Thank you again and I have pretty much the information I need for an informed conclusion. (On this matter, at least.)
 The only thing I can't figure out is why I cannot find some of these articles. I do access Heritage Biodiversity Libraries but never seem to get the hang of using it. I get all kinds of articles but somehow it is never the one I want, then one of you gives me a link and it works perfectly.
 Someone will have to give me a few lessons, either on or offline.
 Again, thank you all.
          Carole

Here's a link from Internet Archives. I did a keyword search for
"d'Argenville". The book is downloadable in PDF & DJVU format plus some
others. There are several of his books available. The link is to plate 27. I
hope its the right year.
