| Abstract: | The natural history collection of two Maltese collectors, Giacomo DEPASQUALE (1870–1955) and his son Vincenzo Agostino DEPASQUALE (1920–2012), was donated to the National Museum of Natural History, Malta, in July of 2024. The collection, containing items of substantial historical and scientific value, is largely conchological in scope, albeit also including several geological and other organic specimens. Labels accompanying some of the specimens establish links with renowned international conchologists. Older records of Lauria cylindracea from Malta are reviewed. |
