Two small folio volumes, about 13 inches tall, in contemporary black buckram. 414 and 508 pages respectively. Illustrated by 12 color plates in volume I and 7 color plates in volume II, all showing bird eggs. An excellent set. The covers are rubbed with the spine titles dulled; minor edge wear.

The fore edge of the last three text leaves of volume II show some professional paper restoration, but it is found nowhere else and it may predate the binding of the books. Very Good+.
