Leipzig, Klinkhardt & Biermann, 1911. Large 8vo (26.0 x 17.8 cm). 40 pp. [numbered 175-214]; 25 text illustrations, three lithographed plates [numbered IV-VI]. Later brown half cloth over patterned boards. Spine with gilt title. Original printed wrappers bound in.
An important work as it contains the detailed descriptions and fine illustrations of many new and remarkable species of land and freshwater molluscs. Small stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in the top margin of the front wrapper; otherwise an excellent, clean copy. Bound copies, such as this one, are rare.
