I have been tasked with the distribution of a fairly large private marine and freshwater mollusks library to be sold in sections in silent auction at the end of the month. The book list is only being distributed to scientists/ naturalists in the hopes that the material actually goes to someone who can use it. The library has over 675 items and has been divided into collections representing THREE general subject areas: (1) FRESHWATER/ TERRESTRIAL MOLLUSKS, (2) MARINE MOLLUSKS, and (3) MARINE BIOLOGY. Each of the three collections is to be sold SEPARATELY as a unit via silent auction; with each going to the highest bidder(s). Northeast Natural History & Supply will be overseeing the auction and eventual dispersal of the collection. OFFERS CAN BE SUBMITTERD via email to [log in to unmask] or in writing to the address provided below.
Among the three collections can be found Agassiz' "Coral Reefs of the Tropical Pacific ("Albatross Expedition")", "Catalogo de la Malacofauna Antartica Argentina" by Carcelles, Sowerby's "Thesaurus Conchyliorum", Burch's "Freshwater Snails of North America", "Recent Lymnaeidae" by Hubendick, "Molluscan Taxa Described by Tadashige Habe" by Okamoto, all six volumes of Libbie Hyman's "The Invertebrates", an early complete set of "Contributions of the Bermuda Biological Station", and a rare signed and dedicated copy of "Disposito Systematica Conchyiarum Terrestrium et Fluviatilium quae Adservantur in Collectione Fratrum Ant. Et Ju Bapt. Villa" by Villa and Villa (1841). As an added bonus, alate 20th Century copy of Darwin's "Geologic Observations... of South America Visited during the Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle" is included in the Marine Biology portion of the collection.
