Ex library Dr. A.C. van Bruggen (with his signature).Ancey (1860-1906) was a keen land and freshwater snail collector who principally focused on snails from the Hawaiian Islands, Central Asia, North and South America, Europe and Africa. In his short life he published many new taxa and contributed much to malacology. Ancey's material is widely distributed in museums around the world, including the Melvill-Tomlin collection at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff. This publication illustrates all of the Cardiff material and, where known, indicates where other type material can be located. This book contains the full biography of César-Marie-Felix Ancey, lists his 176 published papers, including 762 new molluscan names and illustrates 153 type lots.
