Marbled endpapers. Text foxed, first plate slightly foxed, the remainder very clean.The rare coloured atlas in which the shells are coloured and the detailed anatomical figures are left uncoloured. The 92 pages are captions to the plates. Alfred Moquin Tandon (1804-1863) was far ahead of its time by describing and showing radula, genitalia and nervous sytems, thus providing a taxonomic accuracy matched by none of his contemporaries. The plates were drawn by the author and engraved by Marie Nicolas Oudet. The printing was done by Narcisse Rémond who used his expensive full colour printing technique, that equals even the best hand-colouring in quality.

Massive numbers of often spectacular new molluscs and other marine invertebrates were collected. Nearly all the molluscs are described in this work. These two papers of the Museum's Bulletin series contain a sizable part of Dall's new molluscan taxa.
