1923-1930 11 parts in 11. 3387 p., paperbound (original uniform printed covers).A huge work by one of the foremost early 20th century German malacologist, Wilhelm Wenz (1886-1945). This work lists every Tertiary (and many Quaternary) non-marine mollusc, that is: the original description and all subsequent references. The bibliography is enormous. Seldom found complete because it was published over a long period of time. The parts of this series are different from the parts of the whole work because more, unrelated parts of the Fossilium Catalogus were published in between. The right collation is: I= Pars 17; II = 18; III = 20; IV = 21; V = 22; VI = 23, VII = 32; VIII = 38; IX = 40; X = 43; XI = 46. In total the Fossilium Catalogue Animalia contained 138 parts (up to 2002). The exact publication dates of the 11 parts are on p. 3387. Added is a curious loose title page for parts 17-20, "pag. 1-884" but this does not match the actual publication as part 20 had a pagination up to 1068. With the small stamp of Herbert Ant on front covers and title-pages. Uncut. Rare.

» Erster wissenschaftlicher Forschungsbericht einer Alpenexpedition vom Begründer der Gletscherkunde. Sehr seltene Erstausgabe «Bahnbrechendes Werk, mit den ersten wissenschaftlichen Forschungsberichten einer Alpenexpedition überhaupt. Vollständiges Exemplar.Er behandelt unter anderem die Naturgeschichte, Paläontologie und Gletscherkunde, die Scheuchzer hiermit begründete und entwickelte, u.a. die später von Agassiz ausgeführte Dilatationstheorie der Gletscher. Er machte auf Einschlüsse in Kristallen aufmerksam, die er für eine Theorie der Genesis der Kristalle benutzt.Als erster bereiste Scheuchzer mit mathematischen und physikalischen Instrumenten die gefürchteten und bisher als völlig unzugänglich geltenden Natur-Riesen der Schweiz. In Begleitung junger Studenten zog der Zürcher Stadtphysikus vom Jahr 1702 an fast jedes Jahr in die Alpen, die er - systematisch sammelnd, beobachtend, messend - durchstreifte. Die Ergebnisse legte er hier zum ersten Mal der Öffentlichkeit vor (bis auf die der Reise von 1702, deren Ergebnisse er bereits in gleichem Jahr als Disputation veröffentlicht hatte, die aber in diesem Band in erweiterter Fassung vorliegen).Die Kupfer in prächtigen klaren Abzügen zeigen neben einem eindrucksvollen Porträt Scheuchzers in Frontispiz Ansichten, besondere Steine und Kristalle, Fossilien, Pflanzen, typische Gebrauchsgegenstände, Instrumente, Aquadukte, Brücken, Bergwerke, usw. Jede Tafel ist einem englischen Wissenschaftler gewidmet. Die Tafel 1 im 3. Teil oben etwas kurz beschnitten, aber ohne Verlust. Vereinzelt in den Rändern leicht fleckig.First word of title is transliterated from the Greek, text in Latin, FIRST EDITION 1708.

Johann Jacob Scheuchzer (1672-1733) was a Swiss scholar, a mathematician and naturalist and a doctor of medicine. He was a correspondent and friend of Isaac Newton and a Fellow of the Royal Society to whom at Newton's suggestion this work was dedicated. Newton's imprimatur appears on the title page and the engraved plates were executed at the expense of Newton, whose name appears on the 3 engraved dedication plates, and other Royal Society members such as Hans Sloane and Edmund Halley, plus other prominent university men. Scheuchzer was one of greatest Alpine tourists of his day and in this work describes his observations during 3 journeys made in 1702, 1703 and 1704. The 3 dedication plates and many others show views from his journeys including geological formations, others depict botanical and geological specimens, and equipment. See: Grace K.
