Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from List of Duplicates of Japanese Shells: Marine, Land, and Fresh Water
I desire and expect to use these duplicates to obtain in exchange from other and original col lectors, desirable species of shells, echinoderms, crustaceans, star fishes, corals, sponges, etc., etc not now in my collection.
Persons receiving this list and desiring to exchange will send me a list of what they have to offer of the rarer species, not necessarily showy or striking, among which new and undetermined species and varieties will be welcome, so long as they are known to be such, and from the hands of the original collectors. I have no lists of desiderata to send to any one.
Postal charges in all cases to be paid by the sender and not by the receiver, unless under special arrangements to the contrary. The charges on large shells, or on large parcels of shells which can not be sent by mail, but which must go.by express, or as freight by rail, must be paid by the receiver.
Correspondence will be acceptable in Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, as well as English.
Persons having rare shells which they prefer to sell for cash only will be treated with.
The prices affixed to the shells on this list are believed to be reasonable, and in offering shells for exchange I expect my correspondent will affix a price to each species offered, in order that an exchange or sale may be evenly and promptly adjusted.
