Dear all,

During my holidays I've been reading "A history of shell collecting" by S.
Peter Dance. I was particulary interested in the escapades of Mr Hugh
Cuming. The bibliography mentions some excellent but unfortunately
unaccesible sources for further reading on this subject (unavailable because
to scarce, old or expensive, or in far away museum libraries, etc..).

Can anybody tell me if there are any books, biographies or articles
published on this really amazing shell collector or on his collection(s) ?
It would be nice if the mentioned sources would be accessible by Internet,
or interlibrary loan procedures or still available in book stores (?)

Thanks in advance,
