Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Dust Jacket. Hardcover; leather spine and corner tips, over marbled paper. This volume contains two parts (Parts II & III of Volume XII). Part II, "Botanical Report": There are six B&W plates. One of the seven called for is missing, and they are all bound at the end of the section, rather than at t…he pages called for. Part III, "Zoological Report": A total of 47 plates; one plate in the mammal section is missing, and there is one additional plate (not called for) in the fishes section. Some of the plates are bound-in at pages other than called for. The eight bird plates are colorized; the others are B&W. The binding is worn, but intact. Spine gilt completely faded. A few tiny insect holes in the spine. Pages foxed. The plates show foxing to varying degree; a variety of papers has been used for the plates - some more acidic than others. The colorized bird plates show some age-toning, but few foxed spots. Inquire for additional details, as needed. Other volumes from this series are also available. This is a large, heavy book; Priority and/or International may require shipping over and above standard costs. ; 26A; 11-3/4 x 9".
