This is the copy of the British palaeontologist and malacologist Leonard Frank Spath (1882-1957), who is best known for his work on ammonites. Inscribed, in pencil, by Spath on the first title page; some pencil notes, most probably also by Spath, on the front flyleaf verso and on a few plates, one plate with a small, marginal stamp, some light spotting, as usual, but mainly to a few explanatory leaves. A small printed paper with the title and sales price mounted on the first title. In all a very good, complete and well bound set.
