Type Land Snails in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia
by H. Burrington Baker
Part II. Land Pulmonata, Exclusive of North America North of Mexico
Off-print published in 1963 from the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Volume 115, No. 8, pages 191-259
Part III . Limnophile and Thalassophile Pulmonata
Part IV. Land and Fresh-Water Prosobranchia
Off-print published in 1964 from the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Volume 116, No. 4, pages 149-193
In original paper wraps, stapled, the page size is about 6.75 by 10.25 inches (17 by 26 cm.)
Part two is a list of about 2800 type specimens of Pulmonata from worldwide localities, excluding North America north of Mexico. Part three is a listing of nearly 250 type specimens of aquatic pulmonates. Part 4 is a listing of about 850 inland operculates. I hope to be able to add the first part of these listings to complete the set. These are catalogs, and there are no illustrations in them. Baker has added some annotations to the listings. You can see a sample page of the catalog listing in the photos. The listings in the catalogs are well documented. These are used copies of these scarce works. Their paper is lightly toned because of their age. The front covers have the previous owner's name written on them and a reference to the publication along what would be the hinge of the spine. Some parts of the cove are highlighted. Both volumes are clean, and they are in nice condition.
