[Taxacom] Museum Godeffroy and its publications

[Rudiger Bieler]

Dear Colleagues,
We just published a *Zootaxa* issue entitled "Molluscan taxa in the
publications of the Museum Godeffroy of Hamburg, with a discussion of
the *Godeffroy
Sales Catalogs* (1864–1884), the *Journal des Museum
Godeffroy*(1873–1910), and a history of the museum."  While the
taxonomic focus is
placed on gastropod and bivalve names, the historic and bibliographic parts
might be of wider interest.  The - open access - publication can be found
at:

  With best regards from Chicago -- Rüdiger Bieler
