Descripción

Melbourne, Government Printers, 1880. 4to (27.1 x 18.3 cm). 58, [ii] pp.; several text engravings, ten chromolithographed plates. Printed errata sheet loosely inserted. 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, insects 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 fifth decade, with fine illustrations of, for instance, a frog, lizard, marine fish including two sharks, several bryozoans, and cicadas. Very rare. Vague stamps on front wrapper, and on one plate verso, otherwise very good. Nissen ZBI, 2828.
