Essai sur L'histoire Naturelle des Vertebres de la Province et des Departements Circonvoisins: Vertebres Anallantantoidiens Poissons et Batraciens

7981Marseillie: Marius Lebon 1882. First edition. The spine is sunned which has caused the leather to turn into golden tan the title is fully readable on the spine the text is clean and unused with some pages uncut and unopened; a tight and clean copy in very good condition. Pp. 7 8-425 3 index; 44 text-figures line-drawings and halftones of fishes and frogs. Publisher's original reddish cloth over marbled boards the spine is lettered in gilt and with blind-stamped panel lines original marbled endpapers sm 4to 10 x 6.5 inches; 255 x 170 mm. This work provides a natural history of the fishes and amphibians inhabiting the southern provinces of France. Jean Marius Francois Reguis 1850-1908 studied pharmacy at the School of Medicine in Marseille where he studied under Charles Lespes Antoine-Fortune Marion Alphonse Derbs and Edouard Marie Heckel. After finishing his education he moved to Meyrargues in southwest France to begin his studies on the batrachians reptiles birds mammals anthropology invertebrates botany and geology of the area. He later joined the Faculty of Sciences at Marseille when he began writing a 16 volume encyclopedia on the natural history of southern France. Between 1876 and 1904 he published numerous monographs and journal articles on these topics but they were never formally organized into his encyclopedia. This book appears to be one of the volumes in Regius' proposed encyclopedia. This volume has long tables of the species Regius described in the volume. Due to the extreme scarcity of the work this volume was likely published in an edition of 500 copies or less. All of his published works are very hard to find. Regius died in 1908 after a lifetime of studying zoology mycology and botany of southern France. This volume is warmly inscribed by the author to F. Letarte of Paris dated July 30 1882. Later from the library of ichthyologist J. Bohlke with his small name stamp at the bottom of the title page and the dedication page. A rare regional work that seldom comes up for sale.

(ZOOLOGY - ANIMAL BEHAVIOR). REIMAR, HERMANN SAMUELBiblio.com

OBSERVATIONS PHYSIQUES ET MORALES SUR L'INSTINCT DES ANIMAUX LEUR INDUSTRIE & LEURS MOEURS

1770ST20535-03Amsterdam: Chez D. J. Changuion 1770. 169 x 104 mm. 6 3/4 x 4". Two volumes. Translated from the German by Réneume de Latache. <br/> Inexpensive contemporary half sheepskin over sprinkled paper boards smooth spine divided into panels by gilt rules one tan and one black morocco label. Engraved printer's device on title pages. Verso of half titles with bookplate of M. Le Syndic Jean-Louis Masbou dated 1827. Leather with minor stains and losses isolated spots of foxing but in most ways a beautiful copy--the spine ends and joints unworn and the text extraordinarily fresh and with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a really excellent contemporary copy of an early edition of a French translation of the first attempt at a rigorous analysis of animal behavior. Hermann Samuel Reimarus 1694-1768 is largely remembered for his contributions to Deist philosophy but his wide-ranging research interests included mathematics philology and economics as well as natural history as evidenced in the present work initially published in German in 1760. Reimar argues in the text here for instinct as a driving factor in animals' actions rather than a response to bodily necessities or taught behavior. Our French translation by journalist and natural historian Jacques Réneaume de Latache 1725-96 features additional notes and commentary concerning Latache's own observations of animals. These include such charming details as the romance of butterflies and the work ethic of beavers. Our copy is from the library of Jean-Louis Masbou 1770-1836 an important player in Geneva politics in the early 19th century. Masbou held several government posts between 1814 and 1832 including serving as one of the four mayors or syndics six times during the period between 1821-32. This bookplate was evidently produced during one of these mayorships as it refers to the syndic office. Our 1770 Amsterdam printing seems to be the only collectible edition that appears on the market. Chez D. J. Changuion unknown

Notes on the Animals Mammals Birds & Reptiles of Mesopotamia.

1916177822Bombay: Bombay Natural History Society 1916. First edition first printing of this early pamphlet on the fauna of Iraq written for soldiers active in the Middle Eastern theatre of the First World War. We have traced only three copies in UK institutions and three in France. Norman Boyd Kinnear 1882-1957 was a zoologist and ornithologist who became curator of the museum of the Bombay Natural History Society in 1907. This society was dedicated to collecting specimens of animals from across the Indian subcontinent and beyond. For example in 1911 they organized a survey of mammals in India that amassed over 50000 specimens and Kinnear was tasked with cataloguing and dispatching this collection to the British Museum. Kinnear produced this present pamphlet in 1916. "During World War I large collections of birds mammals reptiles and insects were shipped to the Society by its members. Kinnear was then associated with the Brigade Headquarters Bombay as Intelligence Officer. In spite of the new responsibilities on him he succeeded in preparing and presenting a pamphlet on the 'Animals of Mesopotamia' which was circulated among the officers and men serving with the Expeditionary Force. It became a frequent book of reference and proved a great help for those who were collecting specimens" Bombay Natural History Society pp. 24-25. Soldiers and officers alike used the guide to collect a reported 259 mammal species. Provenance: Francis E. W. Venning with his inscription to the front wrapper and notes to the margins. Venning served in the Indian army until 1933 rising to the position of Brigade Commander of the Peshawar brigade on the north west frontier. He was also an ornithologist and zoologist after whom the species of snake Hebius venningi was named. The Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society Volume 27 records that he collected specimens from Hamar Lake and the Euphrates and next to the entry for Corvus monedula collaris in this copy there is a note saying there were "large flocks of rooks in December about Hamar Lake" p. 9. The notes also mention Kut Al Amara and Sheikh Sa'ad major battles in the region in the First World War. Octavo. Original light blue paper wrappers wire-stitched as issued front wrapper lettered in black rear wrapper stamped with printer's vignette in black. Wrappers foxed rusting at staples small chip and central crease to front wrapper contents bright: a very good copy. Bombay Natural History Society "N. B. Kinnear Ornithologist across Continents" Hornbill 2016. unknown
