Description
Jena, Gustav Fischer, 1879. 4to (29.5 x 23.0 cm). 106 pp.; nine tinted lithographed plates. Original printed wrappers. = An important herpetological contribution by the German comparative anatomist and herpetologist Robert Wiedersheim (1848-1923), author of the influencial Lehrbuch der vergleichende Anatomie der Wirbeltiere (1882) - see Adler. Gymnophiona are more closely related to caecilians than to frogs or salamanders. The name derives from the Greek words ?µ? (gymnos, naked) and ?f? (ophis, snake), as the caecilians were originally thought to be related to snakes (cf. Wikipedia). Uncut. Damp-stained throughout, although gradually weaker; otherwise a very good copy. Adler II, pp. 99-100.
