Descripción

col.f/piece+xx+377+plates V & VI, 3 further col.plates by Terzi, 31 text figs. Terzi's 4 col.plates replace Lubbock's original ills. sm.1943-dated inscrip. top corner fr.pastedown, otherwise an excellent copy being internally clean, tight &unmarked in bright, clean, unwor green cloth n covers; unclipped jacket quite clean but some fading and edge-rubbing/nicking. Lubbock's most popularly successful work, first issued in 1882 in the International Scientific Series and going through 17 editions, the later of these being quite common. This, apparently now scarce, edition however is in effect a new work since p.249 onwards contains Myers full annotations in the light of subsequent work by Wheeler, von Frisch etc. His intro. on Lubbock is a little patronising in tone. I think this is about the only Lubbock work which was re-issued after the Great War. N° de ref. del artículo 005586
