>Dear ALL,
>
>Today I have a special important request:
>
>Giuzeppe Mamo (1793-1865) was one of our doyens who studied the
>local mollusca. His collection was bought by the government and was
>last seen at the then National Library of Malta. However, after the
>war the whereabouts of this collection could not be traced! At the
>Museum of Natural History of Mdina Malta (where I have been helping
>voluntarily during my years of retirement) we have found samples
>with handwritten labels of an undeciphered contributor which could
>possibly belong to Mamo. Mamo's most important exchanges were the
>endemic Clausiliidae. We have not been able to find anything written
>by Mamo so that, perhaps we would compare his handwriting with those
>mysterious labels. We were wondering if any of you, especially
>curators, have ever come across with any signed labels with Mamo's
>samples in your collections. All we want is a scan of any of these
>labels to compare with our undeciphered labels.
>
>
>Here is a list of a few of his important correspondents (after A. A.
>Caruana 1867)
>
>Prof. Gray (British Museum), Prof. Otto (Liverpool), Prof. Warwick
>(Zoological Gardens), Prof. W. V. Hennack (Plymouth), H. Cuming,
>(London), Lady Selina Henry, Prof. Litch, Governor Sir W. Denison
>(Australia). Prof. Duffosi (Paris), Prof. Cremiens (Marseilles),
>Prof. Callioz (Vienna), Prof. Maravigna, Piazza Ciantar, Aradas,
>Guttadauro and Benoit (Sicily).
