Anonymous workbook on Unio heros Say
The binder's title, "Extracts of Natural Science," scarcely indicates the subject of this workbook. Text refers to Unio heros Say with other conchological notes. It appears to be an accumulation of original descriptions of mollusks, copied from various published sources. Unsigned, p. 11-152 tentatively dated between 1819-29, but the species in the title was described in 1825.
