1959MM434901959 71 p., 56 pls (depicting 169 figs), large 4to, paperbound (outer ends of spine worn). Galathea Report Volume 3. Includes also W.J. Schmidt, Bemerkungen zur Schalenstruktur von Neopilina galatheae (pp. 73-78, 2 pls). Ex library Alan J. Kohn (with his signature).On May 6, 1952, ten living specimens of an extraordinary mollusc were discovered. While trawling off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the Danish deep-sea "Galathea" expedition hauled these specimens to the ocean surface from a depth of 3590 meters. They were given the name Neopilina galathea and their discovery has been described as "the most dramatic one in the history of malacology." Before that date these limpet like shells were only known as fossils and this was the first time a living representative of the class Monoplacophora was found. It's nearest fossil relative lived in the Silurian 400 million years ago. Needless to say that this anatomical study has great historical value.

The fifth was titled "Kleine Mitteilungen". This was followed in 1928 by a paper titled "Kleine Mitteilungen II" (small contributions II), implicating that a series had started. Indeed, another nine parts were published, all but the last in the small format of the Archiv. This set contains all these "small" contributions. Each in its original offprint-wrappers, and the first and fourth ones signed by the author. Subjects vary, but most contributions are on Scandinavian and Baltic marine, brackish water, fresh water and terrestrial molluscs.
