First Edition
No Binding. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 4th volume from the set of five letters elaborately describing five exotic animals from the collection of Johannes Albertus Schlosser (1733-1769). Schlosser was a Dutch medical doctor and naturalist. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society in London and provided the first description of Artemia salina (L.) in 1755. The drawings showing male and female animals of this species published in 1756 together with an excerpt of Schlosser s original description were drawn by Matthew Maty (1718-1776). Schlosser s name is today still linked to three other taxa: he described in 1768 the Amboina sail-finned lizard. Both a sea squirt species and the Giant mudskipper carry the name schlosseri in honour of him and his work. Petrus Boddaert, after his death in 1769 his large zoological cabinet apparently came into the hands of Boddaert. The chapter describes the Rana bicolore, a frog found in the Amazon basin. 28 x 22 cm. With 3 folding engraved plates, coloured by a contemporary hand. Near fine condition. Edges coloured in red. Text bilingual in Dutch and Latin.
