Description: Paris, G. Masson, 1881-1891. Four parts in four. Large 8vo (24.2 x 15.5 cm). 1,900 pp. [vii, 480;572;697;144]; 227 engravings in the text. Later uniform blue cloth with gilt-lettered morocco label on the spines. = Important basic monograph on the fishes of France, published in three volumes and with a rare (1891) supplement (144 pp.; seven text illustrations). Pagination starts anew in each part, but plate-numbering is consecutive, except for the supplement. The supplement is very often not present. However, in this set the supplement is present, though it has some damp staining; otherwise a very good, complete set. Dean II, p. 154.
