Description: Nürnberg, Bauer & Raspe (Emil Küster), [1899]-1902. 4to (28.6 x 22.0 cm). Title pages to the series, and the volume. 275 pp.; 40 (of 41) finely hand-coloured lithographed plates. Original printed wrappers. = This is the Eulimidae and Pyramidellidae section of the largest and longest-running malacological series, started by Küster in 1837 and abandoned in 1920. This part was written by the German malacologist Stefan Clessin (1833-1911) and includes several new species. Strangely, the title pages do not record the inclusion of the Pyramidellidae although it forms the largest group by far. Also included are the then known members of the Mathildidae, Aclididae, Graphididae and Murchisonellidae. Page 247 contains Nachträge (additions) to the earlier parts. This is one of best-illustrated parts of the series. Page numbers 271-272 are used twice. Plate 16 (Pyramidellidae) is not included, the Eulimidae section is complete. Light fraying and a few short tears to the wrapper edges, otherwise a very good, clean copy. Very rare. Nissen ZBI, 2723.
