During the Napoleonic campaign to Egypt a collection of Red Sea, Mediterranean and continental mollusks was brought together by Savigny who published upon them in 1817 as folio engravings. These served as type-figures for a number of species described by 19th century malacologists, including Audouin, Ehrenberg, Deshayes, Philippi, Hup?, Landrin, Jonas, Issel, Morlet, Vaillant, P. Fischer, Tapparone-Canefri, von Martens, Weinkauff, Monterosato, Jousseaume, H. Fischer and finally Pallary. A checklist and illustrations of 86 of these original types from the Savigny collection, now in the Paris Museum, are presented, supplemented by reproductions of the unpublished color vellums of opisthobranchs and cephalopods. 16 pp., 95 figs, 4.…

This is a very nicely done guide to the shells from the Straits of Dover, south to the Spanish coastline on the Atlantic and north through the coasts of France and the low countries. The book is divided with the first part being mainly introductory material, the second part gives us a look at some the living mollusks that are found in the different ecological zones of this part of the world and the final part is an identification guide to these shells. The photographs of the living shells are extraordinary. This part of the world does not have a very rich molluscan fauna but it is very nice to have this book to help in the classification and study of these shells. Melbourne, Florida.
