New names introduced by H. A. Pilsbry in the Mollusca and Crustacea.
1962 [8], 218 p. paperbound.Edited by William Clench and Ruth Turner, it contains the large catalogue, with almost 5700 taxa, mostly molluscs, also cirripeds, of species and genera described Henry Augustus Pilsbry (1862-1957), with references, dates of authorship, etc. Pilsbry perhaps was the most prolific author in malacology, just "beating" W. H. Dall in number of described staxa. Pilsbry shared his love for cirripeds with, amongst others, Charles Darwin. Guido Poppe's copy with his autograph.
