[Nhcoll-l] Passenger Pigeon Manifesto

[Callomon,Paul]

Sorta apropos this thread:

Many years ago, our departmental publication series Tryonia kicked off with a two-part monochrome reproduction of Martini and Chemnitz’s massive (and scientifically unavailable) “Conchylien-Cabinet” that listed every scientific name of which each figure subsequently became the type. M&C was referred to by Linnaeus, Gmelin, Lightfoot and many, many others, so almost every figure is a type.

Enormously useful in all sorts of other ways too, Tryonia is now available on Biodiversity Heritage Library for free.
