La première (1844-1846) ne comptait que 73 planches, 72 en noir et une en couleurs. Les 77 pages de texte sont des descriptions détaillées des planches de mammifères (I à XX), oiseaux (XXI), reptiles (XXII à XXX), poissons (XXXI à XXXIX), articulés (XL), crustacés (XLI à XLVII), mollusques (XLVIII à XCXII), échinodermes crinoïdes (XCXIII à CII) et divers (CIII à CX). Pictet était professeur de zoologie et d'anatomie comparée à l'Académie de Genève."Pictet treated palaeontology as an essential part of the studies of zoology, comparative anatomy and botany. He confined himself in his treatise to fossil animals and adhered a strict systematic order throughout his work, constantly keeping in view the characteristics of the corresponding living forms. At the same time the geological occurrence of the fossils is nowhere omitted" (Zittel) Bibliographie - Zittel : Geschichte der Geologie und Palaeontologie, p. 778.

Conchologia Iconica. Monograph of the genus Myadora.
1844 Title page and one beautifully hand-coloured plate, 2 explanatory text leaves, contemporary marbled wrappers, with printed label mounted on front wrapper.Rare copy of the marine bivalve genus Myadora (Myochamidae) being a part of the "Conchologia Iconica", started by Lovell Reeve in 1843 and finished (rather than completed) long after Reeve's death in 1865 by G. B. Sowerby, comprising 20 volumes in all. This monograph includes the description and illustration of several species described by Reeve and not illustrated before. Most of the descriptions in the Conchologia iconica (of species and specimens) are based on material collected by the most famous shell collector of the 19th century, Hugh Cuming (1791-1865). With an old library stamp on the lower margin of the last text page, otherwise good clean copy with the plate well-coloured.
