>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).
