Komodo Dragons - Biology and Conservation
Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press 2002. A few illustrations octavo pp xviii 268 the first twenty pages or so with a faint crease to the lower corner traces of a small owner's labelon the front endpaper otherwise very clean internally a very good copy in dustwrapper. More than twenty years have passed since Walter Auffenberg's monumental 'The Behavioral Ecology of the Komodo Monitor'. In the intervening years the populations of Komodo dragons -- native only to a handful of islands in southeast Indonesia -- have dwindled sparking intensive conservation efforts. During the last two decades new information about these formidable predators has emerged and the most important findings are clearly presented here. A memoir from Walter Auffenberg and his son Kurt is followed by the latest information on Komodo dragon biology ecology population distribution and behavior. The second part of the book is dedicated to step-by-step management and conservation techniques both for wild and captive dragons. This successful model is a useful template for the conservation of other endangered species as well for as Kurt and Walter Auffenberg note "The species may well indeed survive in the wild for generations to come while countless other organisms are lost.".

OWEN RICHARD. A NEW GROUP OF REPTILES FROM THE TRIASSIC.
Description of the Skull and Teeth ofthe Placodus laticeps Owen with indications of other new Species of Placodus and evidence of the Saurian Nature of that Genus. Received february 6 - Read March 11 1858.
London Richard Taylor and William Francis 1858. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Vol. 148 - Part I Pp. 169-184 a. 3 lithographed plates. 2 plates with some brownspots. � First printing of this paper which describes a new group of extinct reptiles.<br><br>"Placodonts were peculiar mollusc-eating marine reptiles known only from the Triassic of Europe and the Middle East. Looking something like a cross between a walrus and a turtle they came in armoured and unarmoured varieties see below and were first discovered by Georg M�nster in 1830. Seeking help from the great ichthyologist Louis Agassiz M�nster misidentified these teeth as those of pycnodont fishes and gave them the name Placodus. Richard Owen realised that Placodus represented a new group of reptiles which he officially recognised in 1858 Owen 1858. Variously allied over the years with synapsids ichthyosaurs and araeoscelidans placodonts have proved to be strongly modified members of the Sauropterygia the position that was originally advocated for them when Owen created this group in 1860."Darren Naish in "Placodonts" 2000. unknown
