As I understand it, Rolle only published three printed price lists:
Marine-Conchylien (Univalves): pp. 23, Land-Conchylien: pp. 16,
Europ.-palaearct. Land-Conchylien.: pp. 16.  I am not sure however whether
any specimens indicated as from Jamaica were actually collected by him
personally.  I can try to dig up my copies if you want.

You are probably aware of the following work:
Von Maltzan, H. Diagnosen neuer Landschnecken von Haiti gesammelt von
Hermann Rolle 1887-88. (18xx). 8vo, 6 pp. Describes new species.

You might find it interesting that a letter in my possession sent by Rolle
to John Read le Brockton Tomlin in 1909 offers Unionidae that Rolle
collected in Syria.

Scott

Does anyone know if the German shell dealer Hermann Rolle (f.
1887-1911) collected in the Dominican Republic? I have specific
records for Haiti but none for the DR.
