Published in 10 pts. between 1846 and 1849. The work was originally planned as a set in 2 v., but publication of pts. 11-16 was delayed until 1859. The completed set was then published under the title, Elements of conchology. For more information on dates of publication, see article by A. Reynell in Proceedings of the Malacological Society of London (March 20, 1916, v. 12:1), p. 44-46
