Inscribed on the front wrapper, viz. a dedication to the Dutch malacologist Hugo Frederik Nierstrasz (1872-1937), although it is not clear which author actually wrote the dedication: either the German malacologist Georg Hermann von Grimpe (1889-1936), or his fellow countryman and colleague Hans Hoffmann (1896-1947). Also, with, in the top margin of the title page, a stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020). A very good copy.
