First edition in French 1st ed. in Latin: Danzig 1734 and enlarged. This is "one of the earliest monographic treatments of the sea urchins. It includes descriptions illustrations and a classification of both recent and fossil sea urchins.Although altered and enlarged this work was a major source of information on the Echinoidermata for zoologists and paleontologists throughout the eighteenth century and remained a point of departure in discussions by such early nineteenth century authors as James Parkinson."-D.S.B. VII p. 401. II. First edition in French 1st ed. in Latin: Leipzig 1743. This work summarizes Klein's feelings about taxonomic methods. His method was based entirely on external characteristics such as the number and position of limbs and the mouth. He vigorously opposed any method including the Linnaean system based on characters not visible externally. Klein 1685-1759 a leading marine zoologist "had many and diverse interests in natural history besides sea urchins. He developed a botanical garden in Danzig founded and directed a naturalist's society there made extensive collections and published about two dozen monographs including studies of birds fishes reptiles and invertebrates other than the sea urchins particularly the mollusks."-D.S.B. The attractive frontispiece depicts Klein standing in front of his natural history cabinet. A very fine and pretty copy. unknown books
