“Museum Godeffroy 1885”
Although there was no Catalog published in 1885, “Mus. Godeffroy, 1885” is referenced by Garrett (1887c, 1887d)
as the source for several names. In his text for the nomina so cited, Garrett made statements such as “I received four
examples of this singular species from the Museum Godeffroy” or “I received this species from the Museum
Godeffroy labelled …”. There are seven of these “1885” names, two of them in the synonymy of species
attributable to Pfeiffer and Pease; the over five were made available by Garrett. To avoid any confusion about the
existence of another Catalog, and for completeness, these “Godeffroy 1885” nomina are here listed:
Georissa juvenilis “Mousson” Garrett, 1887d: 314. Attributed to Mousson with reference to “Diancta juvenilis, Mousson, MS.,
Mus. Godeffroy, 1885.”
Georissa parva (Pease)—Garrett, 1887d: 314. With “Hydrocena insularis, ‘Crosse,’ Mousson, in Museum Godeffroy, 1885” in
synonymy.
Helicina incisa “Mousson” Garrett, 1887d: 313. Attributed to “Mousson MS., Museum Godeffroy, 1885”.
Helicina pohliana Garrett, 1887d: 313. With Reference to “Helicina miniata, ‘Lesson’ (not of Lesson in Voy. Coquille),
Museum Godeffroy, 1885”.
Ostodes liberatus “Mousson” Garrett, 1887d: 305. Attributed to “Mousson MS., Museum Godeffroy, 1885”.
Ostodes strictus “Mousson” Garrett, 1887d: 306. Attributed to “Mousson MS., Museum Godeffroy, 1885”.
