Rumphius a Dutch naturalist born in Hanau (Germany) was employed by the VOC (Dutch East India Company). He spent most of his life on the Island of Amboyna (Ambon). He did not live to see the appearance of his book which met with great difficulties before being published. The author had gone blind and almost all his original notes had been destroyed. He originated most of the names of the common Pacific shells as we know them today and was the first to report on the fatal bites of cone shells. He thus fully deserves the honorary title ''Plinius Indicus'' which adorns the title page of his magnum opus.
