Title: Letter to R. P. Dollfus.
Description: La Haye [The Hague], 1973. Single leaf (21.0 x 14.7 cm cm). Handwritten letter, signed and dated. = Letter by the Dutch malacologist Marie Fehr-de Wal (1911-2002) to the French marine biologist, ichthyologist, parasitologist, and director of the Service des Pêches Coloniales, Robert Philippe F. Dollfus (1887-1976). Dollfus was a son of the malacologist Gustave Frédérique Dollfus (co-author of the famous Les mollusques marins du Rousillon) and was interested in Mollusca himself. Paul Henri Fischer wrote his obituary in the Journal de Conchyliologie 114(3-4), p. 131. In this letter, Fehr-de Wal - who was interested in European marine molluscs - asks for information about the French malacologist "Eugène" Bucquoy from Perpignan. A very good, clean item.
