Title: Mollusca & Gastropoda & Stylommatophora & Helicidae, [Go to resource]
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.
