Zoologie - Herpetologie

Naturwissenschaften – Erste Ausgabe. - Nissen ZBI, 2493. - Adler II, pp. 77-78 - Der deutsche Zoologe und Histologe Franz Leydig (1821-1908) widmete sich der Untersuchung der heimischen Tiere und war Mitbegründer der vergleichenden Gewebelehre. In der Einleitung zu seinem Werk appelliert er, dass dieser Gruppe von Tieren mehr Beachtung in der Forschung geschenkt werden sollte. Noch zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts sei das Wissen über die heimischen Reptilien sehr gering gewesen, weshalb er sich im Laufe seiner Karriere wiederholt mit den Reptilien befasste. - Stockfleckig. Insgesamt gut erhalten.
