Fabio,
The short article in The Nautilus 5/10 is not
illustrated. It seems to be a reprint of the
original description, as it is labeled "(Extract
from Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. 2d. Ser., Vol. III.)".
The title in The Nautilus is "A new volutoid
shell from Monterey Bay" Let me know if you want to see it.
Best,
José
