Description des mollusques fluviatiles et terrestres de la France et plus particulièrement du département de l'Isère, précédée de notions élémentaires sur la conchyliologie.
1846 82, [1], 27 p., 6 lithographed plates, 16mo (20.0 x 12.5 cm), modern green half linen over plain green boards. Author/title in gilt on spine. From the library of American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) with his stamp on the top margin of the front board and half-title. Some slight cattered foxing throughout, otherwise a very good, unique copy.One of several mid to late19th century regional catalogues of non-marine molluscs. Almost every French département had its own keen malacologist tackling the local malacofauna. This one, by Claude Joseph Albin Gras (1808-1856) deals with the malacofauna of the Alpine department of Isère, in south-eastern France. With a handwritten 8-page index combining both the main work and the supplement, and including plate references and a tally of all the figured and unfigured species. This index a bit shaved at the fore edge, with some loss.
