Descriptions of nine new Species of Amphipodous Crustaceans from the Tropical Atlantic.
[No place], 1895. Folio. Uncut in the original blue wrappers. Offprint from ""Transactions of the Zoological Society of London"", Vol. XIII, part x, february, 1895. With author's presentation inscription to top of front wrapper: ""to Prof. Dr. Ch. F. Lütken / with very kind regards / T. R. R. Stebbing"". Plates with light occassional brown spots, otherwise a fine and clean copy. Pp. 349-371 + 5 plates.
Scarce offprint issue with author's presentation inscription to Danish biologist of this important paper in which the discovery of nine new species of Amphipodous Crustaceans were first announced. ""In 1877 the Stebbings moved to Tunbridge Wells, Kent, where they lived until their deaths. Although a teacher part of this time, Stebbing devoted most of these years to the study of amphipod Crustacea and to writing. Because of his work on the taxonomy of Crustacea, he became a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1895, fellow of the Royal Society in 1896, and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society in 1908.Stebbing's scientific writings date from 1873"" most of them are devoted to the taxonomy of amphipod Crustacea, on which he published about 110 papers and two major monographs. He received the Amphipoda collected by H.M.S. Challenger on the recommendation of a marine biologist, the Canon A.M. Norman, and published a large monograph on these creatures in 1888."" (DSB).Christian Frederik Lütken, a Danish naturalist 1827 in Sorø, and died in 1901. He obtained a teaching post at the College of Advanced Technology in 1877, and, four years after leaving university, in 1885, he succeeded Steenstrup as chair of zoology. He became a member of the Zoological Society of London in 1879.
Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsrækker, en særegen Form for Opfostringen i de lavere Dyrklasser. [On Reproduction and Development through Alternation of Generations, a Special Form of Propagation in Lower Animals]. - [ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS IN ANIMALS AND PLANTS]
Copenhagen, Bianco Lunos, 1842. 4to. Recent half cloth with contemporary marbled boards. Light browning throughout. Small ink signature on title-page. IV,76 pp. and 3 double-page, folded lithographed plates with many figs. Withbound: Steenstrup, Undersögelser over Hermaphroditismens Tilværelse i Naturen, 1845. XIV,88 pp. and 1 plate.
The scarce first edition of the work in which Steenstrup describes his discovery of the principle of 'alternation of generations', sexual and asexual in plants and animals. ""(Steenstrup) showed that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which, on the other hand, bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors."" (Garrison & Morton No 217). A German translation was published the same year, and an English in 1845. Norman 2009 (German translation). ""The second major publication - (the first dealing with geology) - of 1842 was ""Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsrækker..."", (the work offered), Steenstrup's comprehensive presentation of the form of reproduction that he called 'alternation of generations', that is, the alternation of asexual and sexual reproduction, or metagenesis. This phenomenon had previously been described by Chamisso, but Steenstrup included a greater number of observations, based on a significantly wider range of subjects, and provided an importent chapter on its meaning. Steenstrup's growing reputation, won him an appointment as professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen, where he tought from 1846 until 1885.""(DSB XII, p. 9).
