Essential navigation through early malacological scholarship. Essential for the shell scholar. Index To The Nautilus (Volume 35 To 60) 1921-1947 organises the literature of The Nautilus into a practical malacology reference index and scientific journal index that clarifies where names, descriptions and debates can be found across that formative era. La Rocque's careful arrangement functions as a mollusk research guide and a mollusca taxonomy resource: names, synonyms and bibliographic pointers are indexed so students, curators and field naturalists can trace a species' published history. Far from a dry tally, the work reads as a shell studies compendium, offering cross-references and subject headings that make it straightforward to follow threads in morphology, distribution and nomenclature. It is an efficient zoology researchers tool and an accessible way for marine biology enthusiasts to explore vintage scientific literature - from terse notes to full treatments - without wading aimlessly through stacks. Practical for compiling bibliographies, checking authorities and locating obscure references, it belongs on the shelf of any academic resource collection. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Designed for quick consultation, its clear organisation aids retrospective study and comparative taxonomy in mollusca. More than a reference, it is a historical biology anthology that reflects the priorities of early 20th century science, spanning interwar inquiry and the immediate post-war period. As vintage scientific literature it supports library archival use and contemporary scholarship alike: classic-literature collectors will appreciate its provenance and researchers will respect its rigour. Whether consulted casually by a marine hobbyist or used methodically by a taxonomist, the index acts as a durable bridge between past scholarship and present discovery.
