SHERBORN : THE WRITINGS OF CAPTAIN THOMAS BROWN. 360 
6. ‘Illustrations of the Land and Fresh-water Conchology of Great 
Britain and Ireland.”’ London, 1845. 8vo; pp. xi, 142, 27 pls. 
In which book is advertised :-— 
6a. ‘‘ Illustrations of the Land and Fresh-water Conchology of the 
British Islands.” 8vo; 27 pls. And :— 
6b. ‘Illustrations of the Land and Fresh-water Shells of Ireland.” 
8vo; 18 pls., both as ‘‘ published.” 
These three seem to be different advertisements of the same 
work, of which the first (6) appeared. 
7. “A Catalogue of the Recent Conchology of Great Britain and 
Ireland.” Price one shilling. 
8. ‘A Catalogue of the Land and Fresh-water Shells of Great Britain 
and Ireland.” Price sixpence. 
These two last are for the purposes of labelling collections. 
It is curious how rarely any contemporary reference is found to 
these books. ‘The same remark applies to their author. Captain 
Brown’s history is so imperfectly known that it would be difficult 
to string together any running story. He is not referred to in the 
Dictionary of National Biography, and this not merely by oversight 
so far as the Supplement is concerned. The putting together of these 
notes must be regarded as a first attempt, and no one will welcome 
further information more gratefully than the writer.
