Description: | These shells are from the collection of George French Angas (1822-1886), a Newcastle man who travelled through Australia. Although best known as an artist and author, Angas also built up a shell collection. They are type specimens (the specimens used when the species was first described) of Helix ambrosia, a land snail from the Solomon Islands. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
