Book Description
Undated manuscript notes on shells by American entomologist and conchologist Thomas Say (1787-1834). The first set of descriptions is enclosed in a wrapper with an editor's note referencing an unidentified publication, possibly of the Academy of Natural Sciences, which states that some of the descriptions were unpublished, and as it is impossible to determine "what was intentionally omitted" by Say, or if he planned to reserve the descriptions for inclusion in American Conchology, "it appears best to exclude them in this volume." The second set of descriptions is enclosed in a wrapper signed by malachologist W.G. Binney (1833-1909; Harvard AB 1854), which notes, "Many of these were not published by Say." Descriptions included are of species of Helix, Paludina (now called Viviparus), and Turbo.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Writings of Thomas Say, on the Conchology of the United States A large portion of the original manuscript of Mr. Say, and all the works containing his conchological writings are deposited in the noble library of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, in whose collection are still preserved many of the original speci mens from which his descriptions were drawn. I leave to abler hands the rectification of the nomenclature of Say's species, demanded alike by priority of publication, the advance ment of the science, and the much greater facilities for studying them enjoyed by the American conchologist at the present day.
