Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vast world of life hidden beneath the waves of the Kieler Bucht, an arm of the Baltic Sea, and one of the most thoroughly studied marine environments on the planet. The rich diversity of marine life forms within the Kieler Bucht had long been known, but it was not until scientific explorations were carried out between 1859-1865 that the full extent of its biodiversity was truly revealed. The book delves into the unique habitat of each species found throughout the many depths of the Kieler Bucht, from the shallow littoral zones to the deep and dark abyss. Drawing from the author's extensive first-hand observations, readers will gain a comprehensive insight into the lives of these creatures, their habits, and their significance within the ecosystem. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Leipzig, Engelmann, 1865-1872. Two parts in two. Folio (35.4 x 25.7 cm [board size: 36.1 x 26.8 cm). Two title pages (as part of a series, and as a stand-alone), 213 pp.; 46 [24; 22] chromolithographed plates, tinted lithographed map, three tables, including two large, folded; printed errata slip. Original quarter cloth over printed boards. Spines with gilt title. = Rare, classic monograph on the Mollusca of the south-eastern part of the North Sea, Germany, by the German marine biologists and malacologists Heinrich Adolph Meyer (1822-1889) and Karl August Möbius (or Moebius; 1825-1908). The latter is also known as an entomologist. Very beautifully illustrated after drawings by both authors and printed at the Lithographical Press in Hamburg. This is one of the few works with numerous fine illustrations of living molluscs, including nudibranchs. It contains the classes mentioned in the titles, and a species of Chiton (Polyplacophora). The first volume with a handwritten dedication by Möbius on the front free endpaper recto, dated 21 November 1872; the second part with, in the same place, a handwritten dedication in another hand - thus probably Meyer's - to J. B. Meyer (a relative?). Provenance: a stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in both second titles' top margins. Nissen, as well as the title pages, quotes a wrong number of plates. Scattered spotting throughout, as usual. A few plates, and several text leaves toned, with some offsetting.
