ruzuzu , mollusque , making a disused science word list seems to be a large undertaking. The first thing I see is that all the 'icks' have turned in to 'ics' , 'chymistry' has turned to 'chemistry'.
You could go and read old science dictionaries, but a lot of words would 'look like' they may still be used, and some may have just changed forms. We use 'speed of light' today, when they used to use 'velocity of light' when they measured it using an early transit of Venus across the sun.
