Histoire naturelle des mollusques terrestres et fluviatiles de France contenant des études générales sur leur anatomie et leur physiologie et la description particulière des genres, des espèces et des variétés. Atlas.
1855 hald-title, title-page, 92 p., 54 coloured engraved plates, large 8vo, modern green half cloth with marbled boards and black label on spine (original printed covers bound in). Marbled endpapers. Text foxed, first plate slightly foxed, the remainder very clean.The rare coloured atlas in which the shells are coloured and the detailed anatomical figures are left uncoloured. The 92 pages are captions to the plates. Alfred Moquin Tandon (1804-1863) was far ahead of its time by describing and showing radula, genitalia and nervous sytems, thus providing a taxonomic accuracy matched by none of his contemporaries. The plates were drawn by the author and engraved by Marie Nicolas Oudet. The printing was done by Narcisse Rémond who used his expensive full colour printing technique, that equals even the best hand-colouring in quality.

Description d'une nouvelle scissurelle, suivie de la liste monographique des espèces connues de ce genre.
1862. 7 p., 1 lithographed plate and several white sheets, contemporary half calf with gilt title on spine, marbled flyleaves. Published in: Journal de Conchyliologie Scarce monograph, with one new species of Scissurellidae from the Paris Bassin Eocene. Written by Charles Philippe Ernest Munier Chalmas (1843-1903), who also had a species of Scissurella named after him. The paper was published at a time, apparently, when the Journal de Conchyliologie was issued in very low numbers. A very scarce offprint of the volume X issue of October 1862, pp. 391-397, and pl. XVI. A very good, nicely bound copy.
