Shells

Specimens from the shell collection of Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778). This collection was added to by Linnaeus’ son, Carl Linnaeus the Younger (1741-1783) and the Linnean Society’s Founder, Sir James Edward Smith (1759-1828). Please note, the specimen names reflect the historical 'filed as' names that were attached to the specimens when they arrived at the Linnean Society, and do not necessarily correspond with the current/accepted names.
