Terrestrial Air-Breathing Mollusks. Original Drawings.

This volume contains illustrations from volumes 1 through 3 of "The Terrestrial Air-Breathing Mollusks of the United States" cut out and pasted onto the volume's pages. The illustrations are arranged in the order of publication with hand written labels for each plate and the volume they came from written in the upper right hand corner of each page. Many of the illustrations have additional notes and labels written on the actual plate, and not the page of the volume. While the illustrated plates (and volumes one through three) are by Amos Binney, it is unclear if the notes belong to him or Samuel Henshaw, the donor of this volume to the Boston Society of Natural History. Also note that following the initial publication of the three volumes of "The Terrestrial Air-Breathing Mollusks of the United States" after Amos Binney's death, two more volumes were added after his death by his son William Greene (W.G.) Binney. Illustrations from those volumes are not included here.
