Title: Catalogue des mollusques testacés, terrestres & fluviatiles observés dans le département de la Nièvre.
Description: Nevers, E. Brulfert, 1880. 8vo (22.5 x 15.2 cm). 30 pp.; one large, double-folded table. Original printed wrappers in yellow protective wrappers. = One of several mid to late19th century regional catalogues of non-marine molluscs. Almost every French département had its own keen malacologist tackling the local malacofauna. This one, written by the French botanist and malacologist Louis Brevière who lived in Saint-Saulge, and about whom little else is known, deals with an area in central France, with the town of Nevers as its capital. This work differs from most by being a list in the form of a key to the genera and species. Provenance: stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in the top margin of the wrappers. Scarce.
