First edition presentation set of this massive first installment in the Geological Survey of Southeast Asia begun in 1908 documenting the biostratigraphy of the Yunnan Region which was awarded the Tchihatchef Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. Much of this survey work was done during the building of the Hanoi to Yunnan-fou Kunming railroad which was built by the French to exploit the tremendous mineral wealth of Yunnan. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources for France in Vietnam was Honore Lantenois 1863-1940 who worked for years with Henri Mansuy 1857-1937 and sent him back to France several times to study palaeontology at the School of Natural Resources Ecole des Mines. Lantenois recruited Jacques Deprat 1880-1935 in 1908 -- at the time a brilliant palaeontologist -- to conduct an ambitious program mapping the geology of Indochina and neighboring areas. All three men became involved in the notorious Deprat Affair which resulted in Mansuy accusing Deprat to Lantenois in 1917 that Deprat had used a few European-sources trilobites among his fossil specimens from Indochina and Yunnan. This accusation rested on the distinction that the suspect trilobites were not just similar in nature to others found in Europe but the matrix they were embedded may have originated from Europe. Although nearly 90 years later it would be determined that the trilobite fauna discovered by Deprat indicated that the Yunnan had occupied a location adjacent to Bohemia originally in the early Palaeozoic period; the French scientific community condemned Deprat at the time stripped him of his degrees and posts and forced him to leave the field. A complete set including the Atlas is quite scarce. See: Genovese Madeleine Colani and the Deprat Scandal at the Geological Survey of Indochina Journal of the Siam Society Vol. 99 pp. 269-290 2011; Osborne The Deprat Affair: Ambition revenge and deceit in French Indo-China 1999; Stokes Deprat’s trilobites and the position of the Indochina Terrane in the Early Palaeozoic Proceedings of the International Symposia on Geoscience Resources and Environments of Asian Terranes 2008 pp. 201-207.
