Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of a scientific survey undertaken in Puerto Rico from 1913 to 1917, initiated by the New York Academy of Sciences. The six-chapter book presents the diverse findings of a team of researchers assembled to comprehensively study the island's geology, paleontology, zoology, anthropology, and botany. The survey's multifaceted approach to the study of Puerto Rico provides a historical record of the island's distinct flora, fauna, and geological formations as they were in the early 20th century, forming a scientific baseline against which modern ecological observations can be compared. It also informs current scientific understanding of the evolutionary and historical relationships between the organisms and landforms found in Puerto Rico and the rest of the Antilles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Publisher's original orange cloth lettered and decorated in black on the spine and front cover, lg 4to.Natural History of Central Asia, volumes 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11 (all published). This rare set presents the results of Central Asiatic Expeditions to Mongolia and China conducted during the years 1921-1930 and led by Roy Chapman Andrews. The publication of these volumes was subsidized by private funds; because these funds ran out, only 7 of the 12 planned volumes were published. The authors, titles, publication dates of the seven volumes are as follows: Volume 1: Andrews - The New Conquest of Central Asia (1932); Volume 2: Berkey - The Geology of Mongolia (1927); Volume 4: Grabau - The Permian of Mongolia (1931); Volume 9: Nichols - The Fresh-water Fishes of China (1943); Volume 10: Pope - The Reptiles of China (1935); and Volume 11 (Parts 1 and 2 in 2 volumes): Allen - The Mammals of China and Mongolia (1938-1940). Individually, these volumes are scarce, so the complete set in seven volumes in near fine condition is quite rare indeed. This is a large and heavy set which requires additional shipping. The set weighs 40 lbs, therefore domestic shipping is $65 and international shipping is $220. Some light soiling to the rear cloth covers of two volumes, small bump to front outer corner of volume 4, light wear to cloth at the head and foot of the spine of volume 10, there is an ownership signature of Mary E. Coffey and James E. Coffey on the front attached endpaper of volume 10, there is also an oval name stamp of the Royal Society of Edinburgh on the front endpapers of Vol. 1, 4, and 11 and a very small circular stamp of the same institution at the bottom of the title page of the same three volumes, there are no other ownership marks and almost no signs of use; a bright and clean copy in near fine condition.
