Mainly from Lutetien, Bartonien and Cusien stages, these faunas are known to be extremely rich and well preserved.

Around 1900, the French palaeontologist and malacologist [Alexandre Édouard] Maurice Cossmann (1850-1924), was the leading expert on the Eocene Mollusca. He had an enormous amount of material at his disposal which accounts for the quality of the photographed specimens. Pissarro was responsible for the fine photographs. A smaller, printed leaf, "Avis aux souscripteurs" has been added. A few short tears in the wrapper edges, otherwise a very good, clean set.

His American and other fresh water molluscan papers are numerous, diverse, and notoriously difficult to collate. The number of new species is sheer endless. The papers mainly come in three versions. (A). The original very short Latin descriptions in many small papers in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia (ANSP) (8vo size, without illustrations). (B). The expanded illustrated descriptions in the Journal of the ANSP (4to); C. The offprints of (B), with additional title pages, etc., titled ''Observations on'' (4to). The latter were combined, usually in pairs, into Volumes. There are 13 such volumes in all. Priority in many cases has not been established. All papers are listed and separately numbered in Scudder, the bibliographer of Lea. (Scudder 150, 170, 215, 222, 245, and 259).
