Etudes locales. Extraits du système Silurien du centre de la Bohème. Vol. V. Brachiopodes.

Prague, chez l'auteur, 1879. 8vo (23.1 x 15.1 cm). xv, 356 pp., seven double-sized lithographed plates with explanatory text leaves. Original printed wrappers. = The present work contains three publications, viz. I. Variations observées parmi les brachiopodes siluriens de la Bohême; II. Distribution verticale des genres et espèces de brachiopodes, dans le bassin silurien de la Bohême; III. Conexions spécifiques établies par les brachiopodes entre les faunes siluriennes de la Bohême et les faunes paléozoïques des contrées etrangères. The plates are numbered 116, 120, 121, 130, 131, 144, and 153, yet the work is complete as intended. Barrande effectively published two series within his "Système Silurien", one being a series of descriptive and systematical monographs in quarto format (with the plate numbering nearly completely sequentially), the other, of which this is an example, a series of zoogeographical, and phylogenetic papers and monographs with the plates numbered rather haphazard. Uncut. Paper a bit age-toned, as usual; some light spotting, otherwise very good.
