Notes

By Dezallier d'Argenville.

Originally published (1742) as part of L'histoire naturelle éclaircie dans deux de ses parties principales, la lithologie et la conchyliologie (i.e., in a single volume dealing with both mineralogy and conchology); in later eds. the two subjects were split into individual books (Oryctologie and Conchyliologie), revised and expanded, and issued as independent works.

Plate 1 (frontispiece, pt. 1) is signed: Boucher in.; Chedel sculpsit.

Part 1 includes plates numbered 1 through 29; pt. 2 includes plates numbered 1 through 9; an appendix mentioned in S.P. Dance's Shell collecting (p. 308) contains 3 plates (however, the appendix is wanting in the Cullman Library copy).

Head- and tail-pieces (some signed "VLS" or "J in £" or "J"), initials, side-notes. Vignette on t.p., which is printed in red and black.

Errata on p. [1] (3rd group) and on final p.
