Description

Paris, Challamel Ainé, 1870. 4to (32.1 x 24.5 cm). 108 pp.; six tipped-in text illustrations, three hand-coloured maps and profiles, 13 fine, tinted lithographed plates. Original printed wrappers. = Very rare, well-illustrated monograph on the fossil vertebrates discovered in a North African cave system. Bourguignat is principally known for his malacological works, many of which have remained controversial because of his peculiar species-concept (known as the "Nouvelle École"), and his quarrelsome nature. This is his principal work on fossil mammals. Uncut. Wrappers a bit chipped at edges, partly taped. Some sporadic, usually faint foxing in the text, the plates mostly clean. A very good copy. Nissen ZBI, 507(5).
