[Rarebooks] fs: Shells & Starfish

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

A small lot of items-

Coe, Wesley Roswell. "ECHINODERMS OF CONNECTICUT" Hartford; State 
Geological and Natural History Survey: 1912. Bulletin No.19. A complete, 
well illustrated study of starfish found in Connecticut waters. There are 
(or at least were) many more species and forms than I had expected. 
Hardcover. 6"x9", 152 pages plus 32 b&w plates; some line illustrations in 
the text.Bound in old quarter leather with raised bands and gilt titles; 
some cover wear, some light internal foxing. Evidently bound for F.G. 
Carnochan, with his name embossed in gilt on the front cover. Carnochan was 
the author of several books on Africa and its wildlife.
