Title page dated 1926. 227 pages. Illustrated with plates. This copy has a bookplate on the inside front cover from the personal collection of John Calaby, a noted Australian mammalogist. There is also an early inscription on the front endpaper, D R. J. Tallyard FRs from A & R. Robert John Tallyard was another leading light of Australian natural sciences. A nice association - and curious that Lovejoy did not add his name to this copy, considering that he wrote his name in almost everything he owned. This volume comes from the collection of Dr. Thomas Lovejoy, who was a passionate book collector as well as a renowned biologist. His collection recently came to auction near Washington DC, as we were fortunate to purchase a portion of it, which we're proud to offer here. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it's an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book (although they sometimes get right). Oversized and overweight books will require extra shipping for safe delivery. This copy does not have Lovejoy's name in it, but we provide a card with provenance for purchaser.
