Dear Carole, Harry and other lovers of old colored plates,
the atlas is already digitized and should be on the Goettingen server within
the next days.
The reference link is:
http://opac.sub.uni-goettingen.de/DB=1.3/SET=3/TTL=1/MAT=/NOMAT=T/REL?PPN=343620863 .
The direct link to the book will be
http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?PPN61637254X . The pdf is not
yet deposited on the server and because the server is sometimes very lazy,
so you might have to try the download several times. The file is about 60 MB
due to high quality scanning. I received the master CD yesterday and enjoy
the plates.
Best regards
Bernd Sahlmann

Dear Bernd and Carole,
Bernd's link, <
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k97592c>,
takes you to Tome Second (volume 2 of 2). Here is Tome Premier (volume 1 of
2):
< http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k97589g.r=d%27Orbigny.langEN >
The two title pages indicate "1853" as the date
of publication. That is not true for most of the
contents, Here is a full collation of the work in
question [d'Orbigny, A. 1841-1853. Mollusques.
Histoire Physique, Politique et Naturelle de
l'île de Cuba 1, 2, Atlas (all plates)] from
Malacolog 4.1.1 (Gary Rosenberg's W. Atlantic marine mollusk database)
d'Orbigny, A. 1841b. Mollusques. Histoire
Physique, Politique et Naturelle de l'île de Cuba
1: 1-240, pls. 1-10?. Arthus Bertrand, Paris.
[Stated date: -- --- 1853; true date: -- --- 1841.]

[Stated date: -- --- 1853; true date: -- --- 1842.]
d'Orbigny, A. 1844. Mollusques. Histoire
Physique, Politique et Naturelle de l'île de Cuba
2: 113-128. Arthus Bertrand, Paris. [Stated date:
-- --- 1853; true date: 1844.]
d'Orbigny, A. 1847. Mollusques. Histoire
Physique, Politique et Naturelle de l'île de Cuba
2: 129-224, pls. 22-25?. Arthus Bertrand, Paris.
[Stated date: -- --- 1853; true date: pre May?]
d'Orbigny, A. 1853. Mollusques. Histoire
Physique, Politique et Naturelle de l'île de Cuba
2: [iv] + 225-380, pls. 26-28?. Arthus Bertrand, Paris.
Here's another version from Dick Petit:
d'Orbigny, A. (1841-53) Mollusques. In: R. Sagra,
Histoire physique, politique, et naturelle de
l'Ile de Cuba. 2 vols. and atlas. [Issued as of
1853 but published in parts earlier as follows:
French edition, 1, 1-208, pts. 1-14 (1841);
209-264, pts. 15-17 (1842); 2, 1-112, pts. 1-7
(1842); 113-380, pts. 8-24 (probably 1853); Atlas
(1842). Spanish edition title page dated 1845;
pp. 149 onward probably 1846 as imprinted.]
At Malacolog: <
http://www.malacolog.org/bibliography.php?mode=search&autstr=*%25Orbigny*&year=&yearend=&title=&titvol=&pubstr=&showspecies=y&submit=Search
>, you can see what species (if any) were named
in each of these installments (as well as
d'Orbigny's other magnum opus, Voyage dans l'Amérique Méridionale ...)
Now, the problem: The Atlas.* I cannot find an
online digital version at Gallica or anywhere else.
