[ ] BARRANDE, J. Système Silurien du Centre de la Bohême. Première partie: RECHERCHES PALEONTOLOGIQUES (all published!). Prague & Paris, chez l'auteur & éditeur, 8 2- 9 . 8 sections (bound in 0 volumes). to. pp. 822 , with 606 lithographed plates. Original cloth, covers blind stamped, spines with gilt lettering ( volumes re-bound to match, one volume in wrappers). € 8. 00 Joachim Barrande ( 799- 88 ) "collected, described, and drew the fossils of the central Bohemian basin - this area has been called the Barrandian ever since. The strata of this basin are Proterozoic - early Paleozoic in age. The results formed the outstanding monograph 'Système Silurien'. Because this work is so comprehensive, its drawings so accurate, and its descriptions so fine, it is still used as a reference book by paleontologists (D.B.S. I, pp. 68/ 69). Zittel (pp. / 6) called this handbook "a work which stands almost unrivalled in palaeontological literature". It contains descriptions and figures of 6 species, with a few exceptions all coming from the Lower Palaeozoic marine beds of Bohemia. The most sumptuously produced work ever produced in paleontology. Barrande was a pupil of Cuvier, Orbigny and Brogniart. Contents as follows, volume I: Trilobites - II: Céphalopodes - III: Ptéropodes - IV: Gastéropodes - V: Brachiopodes - VI: Acéphales - VII: Echinodermes: Cystidées - VIII: Bryozoaires, Hydrozoaires, Anthozoaires, Alcyonaires. A complete set of this monumental classic on the paleontology of Bohemia, which was privately printed in a very small limited edition of 2 0 copies only. The first volume of the Tilobites pp. 9 , with plates in xerox-copies. 1 [ ] BATTARRA, (G.A.). Fungorum Agri Ariminensis historia ... quam sub auspiciis plurimum reverendi DD. Francisci Raynaldi Gargani... in hac secunda editione nec aucta nec diminuta publici juris fecit. Faventiae, Typis Martinianis, 7 9. to (280 x 200mm). pp. viii, 80, with engraved vignette on title and 0 engraved plates. Later half calf, spine with gilt lines and lettering, marbled sides. € .000 Second edition of this rare and beautifully produced work describing a great variety of fungi growing around Rimini. Antonio Giovanni Battarra ( 7 - 789) was an Italian clergyman (of Rimini), physician and mycologist. The interesting engraved vignette on the title has the following motto (in Greek) 'We study fungi, we do not eat them'. Ainsworth considers the engravings 'excellent'. In "Zur Geschichte der Mykologie, das XVIII. Jahrhundert" by Lütjeharms pp. to 7 a large comment is given of this publication. Battarra attempted to prove that mushrooms were really plants growing from spores and not just putrefying matter as was generally believed in those days. C.H. Persoon knew of the work of Battarra and even named a new genus of Fungi, Battarra, after him. The 200 figures on the 0 plates are finely engraved and give a very good impression of the mushrooms depicted. The first edition was published in 7 and the present edition has only 8
