1928174745Likely Shanghai: 1928-34. Mariners are warned to exercise due caution when approaching and when in the waterways A collection of otherwise untraced notices to mariners compiled by a civilian captain who plied the lower Yangtse during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Yangtse shipping was regulated by the Maritime Customs Service which issued around 100 navigational advisories per year. During the late 1920s shipping traffic on the Yangtse rebounded after several years of decline during the Warlord Era. Low water however continued to pose problems for navigators and increased the need for effective river management. The 39 notices are technical directions concerning specific parts of the channel. They specify when vessels may and may not enter stretches of water warning of the persistent presence of Chinese craft not subject to the same notices offer guidance for navigating buoyed channels provide optimum bearings and relay a change to the position of the Bend and Gravener Island beacons due to the erosion of the channel. The majority date from 1929. The identify of the "Captain Smith" referenced on the front cover has proved elusive but he may be the individual pictured in photograph Sw13-045 G.

It includes an erroneous "advertisement to the eight edition" by the Hydrographer of the Navy Rear-Admiral Kenneth St Barbe Collins 1904-1982. The advertisement states that with the publication of "the ninth edition" presumably this volume the previous edition and its supplements are cancelled since the most up-to-date information has been compiled in the new edition and the weekly "Notices to mariners" that appeared after the publication of the 11th edition. The 10th edition of 1955 and its 1957 supplement were made redundant with the publication of the 11th edition in 1967.

Bibl.-Expl., jedoch sehr gut erhalten, papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, vereinzelt leicht stockfleckig. -. Originalausgabe. Erste Ausgabe. Der Schweizer Mediziner und Wissenschaftler François Alphonse Forel gilt als Wegbereiter der Limnologie, der Wissenschaft von den Binnengewässern als Ökosystemen; das vorliegende Werk kennzeichnet die Geburtsstunde dieses Fachgebiets. - François Alphonse Forel est un précurseur, comme l'ont été avant lui Carl von Linné ou Gregor Mendel. La monographie qu'il consacre au lac Léman dès 1892 marque l'acte de naissance officiel de la limnologie, discipline principalement dédiée à l'étude des lacs et des eaux superficielles. Un champ de recherche depuis lors en constant développement, et dont l'importance se révèle cruciale aujourd'hui dans le cadre des études liées aux effets du réchauffement climatique.
