1857 40 p., original printed wrappers. Deals with Coleoptera only. These species were described when Wallace was still in the Malayan Archipelago contemplating evolution and natural selection. This is part of volume 1, the work should be complete in two volumes with 35 plates, but the second part is about Deyrolle's voyage to Gabon and has nothing to do with Wallace's journey and findings. There should be five plates to this work but this copy contains the text only. Rare. Nissen ZBI, 4120.
