Original printed wrappers. = A seldom-seen work by the great Russian ichthyologist Leo Semenovich Berg (1876-1950).

This part deals with lampreys, sharks, rays, and - most of all - sturgeons. According to Dean, the publication year is 1912, but internal evidence substantiates 1911 as correct. Uncut. Stamp on front wrapper and second (Russian) title. Otherwise a very good, clean copy. Dean I, p. 103.
