About This Item
Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1964. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Compiled over the course of 31 years, this is as detailed and authoritative a zoological taxonomy as you can find, with the animals divided by genus, and profiled by size, weight, common and latin names, range, unique physical and biological attributes, and behavioral traits. Profusely illustrated. Quarto, two volumes. Black marker over previous owner's address on the front flyleaf in both volumes; otherwise a very good set, housed in the publisher's slipcase.
