Colour-illustrated softcovers, Art Deco cover art of pink & yellow blossoms on black background, lettering in green & black (minor soiling, minor chipping head & foot of spine, minor tear & creasi…ng to lower corner), still G copy. First edition of this installment in the storied journal founded by Sowerby (1885-1954) the naturalist and explorer. Of particular interest in this installment is the first published announcement of Ruth Harkness' (d. 1947) as the first person to bring a living Giant Panda out of China, a female named Su Lin. Her husband, William Harkness, zoologist and adventurer, had headed an expedition to capture Giant Pandas, but died before he even entered the habitat. Ruth traveled into Wenchuang County of Sichuan Province, then onto Baoxing County where she discovered the cub less then 2 kilometers from Jiajin Mountain, and was later donated to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.
