Descripción

Amsterdam, Pierre Meijer, 1767. 4to. 8 pp., 1 fine lithographic plate. = A scarce part from the rare French edition of the famous "Algemeene natuurkundige en historische beschryving der zeldzaamste en verwonderenswaardigste schepsels der natuur" by Aernout Vosmaer (1720-1799). This part describes and illustrates the Klip-Das or Bléreau des Rochers (Procavia capensis) in the collection of the Prince of Orange in The Netherlands. Vosmaer discusses its relationships and noted differences with rabbits, etc. He did not know that in fact it more related to the elephant although the fat specimen figured may have given a clue. Vosmaer also reports giving the specimen to Pallas for dissection. This would have been reported upon in Pallas's Miscellanea Zoologica. A few spots, mainly marginal and on the plate verso, otherwise a nice copy. Nissen ZBI, 4294.
