Two letters in Latin, 1756 and 1762, from the historian and geographer Vito Maria Amico e Statella of Catania, Sicily, to Thomas Pennant, chiefly relating to crustaceans and molluscs.
In the first letter, 1 January 1756 (ff. 175-176), he arranges to send Pennant marine specimens; in the second, [23 November] 1762 (ff. 177-178), written just before Amico's death, and mainly in the hand of an amanuensis, he sends sample shells of snails and shellfish.
