Two years later his Historia Naturalis Testacearum Britanniae was published, but this earlier work deals with worldwide shells. Provenance: the name Clench (the American malacologist William James 'Bill' Clench [1897-1984]) written in the top margin of the title page verso, and the stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in the top margin of the title page. Some offsetting from the plates to the opposite text leaves, but otherwise a very good, clean copy. Nissen ZBI, 2784.
