MARINE MOLLUSKS OF THE GALAPAGOS 1 13 



apparently between 1827-1829 (see Carpenter, 1857, pp. 179-180; 

 Howell, 1941), where he assembled a collection of shells. Most of these 

 were described over a period of years, beginning about 1832, by Broderip, 

 the Sowerbys, Reeve, Deshayes, H. & A. Adams, and others. 



The first comprehensive list of molluscan species from the islands 

 was compiled by Carpenter (1857, pp. 359-361). Twenty years later, 

 E. A. Smith ( 1877) reported on a collection of shells taken at the islands 

 by Commander Cookson of the 'Teterel." Two years later, a list of 

 shells collected by Simeon Habel was published by Wimmer in 1879. 

 Stearns (1893), in a comprehensive paper containing a review of the 

 earlier works dealing with the conchology of the Galapagos Islands, cited 

 the species (288 species and 30 varieties) known to occur there and 

 described four new marine species and one new land snail. A brief paper 

 by Pilsbry & Vanatta (1902) contained the results of a study of the 

 shells collected by the Hopkins Stanford Galapagos Expedition of 1898- 

 1899. Many species dredged by the "Albatross" in deep water about 

 the islands were described in papers by Dall, especially in one which 

 appeared in 1908, and numerous species were recorded occurring in 

 the archipelago in his paper on Peruvian mollusks in 1909. Many of 

 the microscopic gastropods occurring in the islands were described in 

 various papers by Dall and Bartsch. Tomlin (1927-1928) recorded 

 the mollusca collected by James Hornell in 1924 at five of the islands 

 in the Galapagos group during brief stops there by the "St. George" 

 Expedition. Marine shells collected in the islands in 1925 by Alf 

 Wollebaek, Director of the Zoological IVIuseum, Oslo, Norway, were 

 reported upon by Soot-Ryen in 1932. Later, lists of species taken in the 

 islands appeared in papers by Schwengel (1938) and bv Bartsch & 

 Rehder (1939).
