No Wood 1828 refers to William Wood's Index Testaceologicus: or a
Catalogue of Shells British and Foreign. There are 2300 illustrations, all
postage stamp sized but quite detailed.
There was also a supplement with eight plates published as well. It was
titled Supplement to the Index Testaceologicus: or a Catalogue of Shells
British and Foreign. This has 480 illustrations; as with the main work,
all are postage stamp sized.
