Dears Emilio and Wayne,

Born, 1778, is all right. It represents a different, earlier work by the
same author titled Index Rerum Naturalium Museum Caesarei Vindobonensis.
[Part] 1. Testacea. 458 pp. As occurred with many works from that period,
the book was originally published in fascicules; for notes on dates of
publication, check Rutsch, R. 1956, The Nautilus 69(3): 78-79.

Best,

Jose
