Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. San Francisco, octavo, [iv], 412, [i] p. ***CONTENT: General A.W. Vogdes (1843-1923) was a U.S. Army officer and self-taught geologist and paleontologist. He served in both the Civil and Spanish-American Wars. Vogdes published more than 30 papers on fossils, many with a focus on trilobites, and had a 40,000-volume scientific library. This treatise is one of his most important works and is now very scarce - much of the Academy's existing stock was destroyed in the 1906 great earthquake and fire. This work was designed as a literature reference for scientists and students engaged in fossil research, and includes a list of authors as well as an index of the species described. Most useful are the author's detailed annotations describing the content of each reference, some annotations are longer than a page. A splendid "Catalogue of Trilobites" occupies more than 100 pages; a similar catalogue of non-trilobite genera (eurypterids, horseshoe crabs, crabs, shrimps, entomostracans, etc.) is also provided. ***CONDITION: This work was originally issued in paper wraps. This copy is complete, near-Fine, and bound in contemporary 3/4 red leather and marbled boards, with a gilt-lettered backstrip. Save for minor rubbing to the edges, the covers are well preserved, clean, and bright. Spine lettering bold. Joints and hinges strong, binding very firm. Sprinkled page edges. The text pages are pristine: fresh, clean, and bright. ***PROVENANCE: This copy was owned by the noted paleontologist Alpheus S. Packard, Jr., (1831-1905) who also worked on trilobites and crustaceans. Packard's name is gilt-stamped on the backstrip and on a Bowdoin College donor bookplate on the front pastedown. Bowdoin blindstamp on the title page. This is a handsome, sound copy of a very useful monograph. BMNH 2231. Nickles 1054. International shipping will be extra, but only at my cost.
