Partly original printed wrappers partly blind wrappers. = Very rare complete set of the results of the largest oceanographic expedition in Indonesian waters which are renowned for their unsurpassed biodiversity. The expedition was initiated and lead by the Dutch biologist Max Wilhelm Carl Weber 1852-1937. "On 1 November 1898 the Siboga was officially commissioned and left for the Dutch East Indies the same day. On 7 February 1899 the ship arrived in Batavia and sailed on 11 February to the naval port of Surabaya on East Java. After the final preparations there including the removal of all other armament the expedition to investigate the marine fauna and flora of the Indonesian Archipelago as Max Weber described it began on 7 March 1899. When the Siboga returned to Surabaya on 26 February 1900 at the end of the expedition the ship had crossed an area of 1200 miles 1900 km in a north-south direction and 1500 miles 2400 km in an east-west direction covering a distance of more than 12000 nautical miles 22000 km. map of the route of the Siboga In total 181 fishing trips were made with the trawl or dredge during which depth measurements were also taken. In addition other types of nets such as the trawl were used at 103 positions and bottom samples were taken at 96 positions. Although the expedition was primarily focused on the deep sea of the Indonesian Archipelago shallow waters coral reefs and beaches were also investigated. And Weber and his companions also made regular land excursions during which they did not fail to search if appropriate sometimes successfully for scientifically unknown species at local fish markets! The expedition journal includes a total of 323 so-called measuring stations i.e. sea and land locations where the applicable observations catches or finds have been formally recorded. During the expedition a number of times a port was called at for provisions and bunkering of coal but also to send the already collected specimens preserved and packed in glass jars and zinc boxes to the Zoological Laboratory of the University of Amsterdam. There as Weber was later able to ascertain to his great joy they always arrived virtually undamaged. The enormous catch of zoological botanical and geological material that the Siboga Expedition yielded was the work of four scientists. No fewer than 61 scientists 54 zoologists 4 botanists 2 geologists and 1 hydrographer from 10 countries subsequently examined and described the collected material over a period of many decades. The results were published in 148 monographs or 'Livraisons'. The first appeared in 1901 the probably last in 1986." Dutch Wikipedia. Nearly 50 percent of the species described are new to science for example 131 new species of fishes. The Siboga results include even more species than those of the famous Challenger Expedition. Arguably this is te most important Dutch contribution to oceanography and hydrobiology ever. Published over a very long period and therefore rarely found complete. Papers are in German English or French. Three plates in Part 72 in photostat. Some wrappers slightly damaged a few with some staining to the interior otherwise a very good set. Not in Nissen which is downright ridiculous. unknown

1970BOOKS000180<p>2 Volumes: xxxii368 pages with frontispiece five folding maps and ten plates; ix369-640 pages with frontispiece two folding maps six plates bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Translated by Anthony Mango. Second Series volumes 138 and 139. First edition.<br /><br />By the early sixteenth century the loosely knit kingdom of Georgia had disintegrated from the strong monarch of the middle ages to a number of small states and principalities. This internal disunity made the Georgians easy victims of the power politics of the neighboring Ottoman and Safavid empires and by the end of the century the southward drive of the Russians intensified the struggle for military and diplomatic control over the whole of the Caucasian isthmus. As a result of this struggle seventeen embassies were exchanged between the Russian tsars and the Georgian kins ruling in Kakheti during the years 1564-1605. W E D Allen and Anthony Mango who undertook the translation have selected the documents relating to the embassies of 1589-90 and 1604-5. Although the writers seem to be frequently pre-occupied with questions of protocol their observations give a clear picture both of current Russian administrative and diplomatic practice and of the life and customs of the people of the Caucasus and Georgia. The texts are further enlivened by dramas such as the murder of the Kakhian King Alexander II and the secret negotiations for the marriages of the son and daughter of the Tsar Boris Godunov. The documents are of considerable geographical interest as they provide the earliest extant accounts of the crossing of the main chain of the Caucasus from north to south. Allen provides both a detailed background introduction and full commentary and notes on the texts. The second volume also contains some valuable genealogical tables which clarify the complicated relationships between the Caucasian royal and princely families and their connection with the Russian Ottoman and Persian ruling houses.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some light rubbing to spine ends else better than very good copies in liker jackets.</p> Hakluyt Society hardcover
