[Alert Voyage] Report on the zoological collections, made in the Indo-Pacific ocean during the voyage of the HMS Alert 1881-1882 [AND] Account on the zoological collections made during the Survey of the HMS Alert in the straits of Magellan and the Coasts of Patagonia.

London, Taylor and Francis, 1884. In two volumes. 8vo (22.4 x 14.1 cm and 23.0 x 15.8 cm). xxv, 684 pp. with 54 lithographed plates (some partially coloured) [AND] London, The Zoological Society, 1881. 8vo. 141 pp., ten lithographed plates. The first title in later blue cloth, the second in recent boards with printed paper label on the front board. A rare ensemble of the two publications on the Alert voyage, together being all zoological results published. It is very rare to find the 1884 book together with the 1881 publication from the Proceedings of the Zoological Society. This article gives the results of the investigations that were carried out in the Magellan strait and Patagonia, regions which were not covered in the 1884 work. This 1884 title deals with the surveys around and on Pacific and Indian Ocean islands. Contains: Summary of the voyage by R.W. Coppinger, Mammalia by O. Thomas (this section describes skulls of Torres Straits and Banks Islanders), Aves by Sharpe, reptiles, batrachians and Pisces by Guenther, molluscs by E.A. Smith. (83, 22, 23 pp., and 4, 1, 3 plates), Echinodermata by Bell, crustaceans by Miers, Coleoptera by Waterhouse, Lepidoptera by Butler, Alcyonaria and sponges by Ridley. 54 nice plates in total. The 1884 title is an ex-library copy in new cloth, perforated stamp on title page, stamps on verso of plates. A good copy with some light uniform tanning of text. The second volume, published in the Society's Proceedings bound in recent old style paper boards, old stamp of a Swedish natural history society on first page, this page also somewhat thumbed and soiled. Some dampstaining on first few pages, an occasional foxing spot, a few pencil annotations. A rather good copy. Horn-Schenkling II(3), p. 397; Nissen ZBI, 4755.

Annales des Mines. Series III-VI. Atlases.

Paris, Ecole de Mines, 1832-1866. Two series in four. Oblong folio (40.5 x 22.0 cm) with 758 (of 759? see below) engraved and lithographed plates and maps, of which 29 are hand-coloured geological maps or profiles. Contemporary uniform red cloth. Gilt titles on the spines and front boards. Marbled endpapers. Rare atlas belonging to this early French mining journal that started as Journal des Mines (1794-1813) and was continued as Annales des Mines. It includes an early geological map of Los Angeles County (1855), a mining map of California (1862), maps of the volcanoes Mount Vesuvius and Etna, and a fine map of the island of Jersey (1851) with seven colours, etc., etc. Other plates show mining equipment, including locomotives, conveyor belts, and metallurgy devices, including ovens. One plate shows the reconstruction of an exploded boiler, with a map of the debris field, and views of damaged buildings, several others depict eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. In this set, nearly all the plates are not folded, in strong contrast to copies where the plates are included in the text volumes, nearly all folded, and often trimmed. Does not include plate VIII in serie III, volume XX [either not published or never bound in; it is described as Carte géologique de la Russie d'Europe, and should contain a "coupe géologique du nord au sud"; however, it is also lacking in the only other copy of série 3 vol. 20 that we have seen, and it is absent too in a digitalized copy on the internet (annales ensmp) The description of this plate in the "Explications des planches" is incomplete, as if the compiler had not seen it either]. All other plates present. Corners slightly worn, some very marginal water staining, but generally in very good condition. Cat. BM(NH) [Serial Publications] 1, 83.
