Dear Oliver,
Have you tried Animalbase.org or Gallica websites for scans of Adanson
(1757) and Lamark's (1819) works? I went to Animalbase and searched using
the year of publication. For both the work is available through the Gallica
site. In Adanson I found about 10 pages listed as having a referenece to
"Patella". I have a dial-up account, so did not take the time to look for
Patella nigra specifically. I also found no plates.
In Lamarck, you need to select pagination from the options listed
horizontally across the top to navigate to page 329 in volume 6 (1819 volume
of Animaux sans Vertebrates). There is no plate here, either, just a brief
description of Patella safiana.
Hope this helps.
