[INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, PHILIPPINES, MAURITIUS and the Pacific. – a collection of 45 Malacological works, in 44 volumes, mostly off-prints, 1874 and later, most 20^th century].

Some early colored paper wrappers, stapled into cream paper wrappers. A rare collection of off-prints published over six years. Parts IV and V were published together, so it would perhaps be more correct to say ‘7 parts in six, bound in one volume’. This appears to be the complete collection, but I am not certain if any supplements were published?
