About This Item

Melbourne, Government Printers, 1885. 4to (27.0 x 18.1 cm). 45, [iv (contents of the first ten decades)] pp.; ten chromolithographed plates. Original printed wrappers. = One of the most richly illustrated faunal descriptions of Australia; especially interesting because of the many thoroughly observed and carefully described reptiles, fishes, bryozoans, and other animals. Many of these Australian animals are pictured and described for the first time. In total 20 decades were published, each with a mix of species from various phyla. This is the complete eleventh decade, first of the second volume, but including a plate index to the first volume; and with fine illustrations of, for instance, a turtle, two reptiles, a shark, several bryozoans and grasshoppers. Very rare. Binding perished, wrappers detached, edges brittle; stamps on front wrapper and title page; some staining in the inner margin due to rusty staples; otherwise very good. Nissen ZBI, 2828.
