Mollusc (Manzonia crassa)

Description

Notes: The five minute specimens are placed in a small box labelled in ink "29/ Challenger/ Rissoa costata/ 620. J.Ad./ Tenerife" and alongside, the date "Feb10/73,/ 70 fms". We don not know to what the number "29" refers. This box is placed in a slightly larger round box containing an original green framed label, with an ink handwritten description "620/Rissoa costata, J.Ad./ Tenerife.70 fms. 1873" and "Challenger Expedition" written below.
The ink number "620" refers to an entry in the Catalogue of the Conchological Collections in the Perth Museum, by Henry Coates, FSA, dated 1925, p19.
