Upsal, Société Royale des Sciences d'Upsal, 1871. 4to (27.2 x 21.3 cm). Title page, 200 pp. Contemporary pebbled half cloth over green, pebbled boards. Gilt title on the spine. Marbled edges.

An important and seldom-seen contribution - especially in a contemporary binding - to the Scandinavian malacofauna by the Swedish malacologist Carl Agardh Westerlund (1831-1908). It contains the descriptions of several new species. Published in the society's Nova Acta, but this is an offprint with a new title page. Small stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in the top margin of the front free endpaper recto and title page. Added: Wilhelm Kobelt's 10 pp. review and summary of Westerlund's paper (excerpt from Malakozoologische Blätter, Vol. IV). Slight spotting to the first and last few leaves, otherwise a very good, clean copy.
