Duchassaing De Fonbressin, P. And G. Michelotti

Description

Haarlem, De Erven Loosjes, 1864. 4to (29.5 x 23.3 cm). 124 pp.; 25 (mostly hand-coloured) lithographed plates. Original blind blue wrappers. = Important early monograph on the rich sponge fauna of the tropical western Atlantic with the detailed description and illustration of many new species. The work was written by the Guadeloupe-born zoologist and medical doctor Pierre Duchassaing de Fonbressin (1819-1873) and the Italian zoologist and malacologist Giovanni Michelotti (1814-1898). Nissen errs in attributing this work to Duchassaing alone. Published in the series, Natuurkundige Verhandelingen van de Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, with the title and half-title of the volume, the same of the issue (half title partly cut without loss of text) of the volume, and also with the title page of the work. Uncut. Binding weak, spine rubbed, otherwise a very good copy. Rare. Nissen ZBI, 1168.
