Call, R. E. - R. Ellsworth Call. Papers on Mollusca.

Washington, DC, and other places, 1878-1902. 44 malacological papers in one (including 26 original papers). 8vo (22.6 x 14.8 cm). Numerous pages and plates. Red buckram with gilt title on the spine. The American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) wrote a number of biographies and bibliographies of American malacological authors in the series, Occasional Papers on Mollusks, published by the Museum of Comparative Zoology, in Cambridge, MA. As a basis for these papers, he accumulated the published works of these malacologists in one or more bound, chronologically arranged, convolutes. Often adding previous biographies, obituaries, etc. Not necessarily he used original offprints or excerpts - although this is certainly true for many of the more obscure works - but also photocopies of texts already contained elsewhere in his vast library, e.g., in periodicals such The Nautilus, Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and the Proceedings of the United States National Museum. This is his convolute of the works of the American malacologist Richard Ellsworth Call (1856-1917), who specialized in North American continental molluscs. In this convolute, 26 papers - including most larger ones - are original offprints, often with the printed front wrappers. Johnson's bi(bli)ography of Call was published in Occ. Pap. Moll. 4 (1975). His paper is included, preceding Call's papers. All original papers in very good condition. A unique item.
