Dear Harry,
Francisco Welter-Schultes has yesterday added the links and a detailed
description of the parts to animalbase. This seems to be the easiest way to
see what is in the volumes and parts and how the series differ and what is
missing in the digitized Harvard copy:

Thanks very much for the heads-up, Bernd.
This is a fantastic resource! I just looked at
the Gastrochaenidae (Band 11, Part 4a ;
<http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/106795>)
and found some of the most beautiful and
illuminating plates dealing with this rather
recondite group of (anything but) boring bivalves
I could ever imagine. I'm sure there are many
other pleasant surprises awaiting us in this
heretofore extremely rare and arcane masterwork.
Another (digest-style) collation of the "new
series" Systematisches Conchylien-Cabinet, based
on Dick Johnson's set and that of the Museum of
Comparative Zoology (Harvard), is also available
(by subscription) on-line at
<http://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/jsbnh.1968.4.7.363>
[Johnson, 1968].
