Naturwissenschaften – Nissen ZBI 4179. - Adler 1, p. 36-37. - Nicht in der Crane Library. - "Tschudi`s mostfamous work, "Classifikation der Batrachier" (1838), was an attempt to unite into one system both fossil and recent species, thus showing the influenceof his teacher Louis Agassiz. Many familiar amphibian genera were described in this book and its continuing importence justified its reprinting in 1967." Adler, 1989. - Seiten unbeschnitten, Tafeln mit unmerklichem Wasserrand in der li. oberen Ecke. Sehr gutes Exemplar. Sehr selten
