193730 pages, including sketch illustrations. Plus two black and white plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An important report on the scientific investigation of the transport of sand by wind, providing valuable information with ample mathematical equations and data charts. During his expeditions into the Libyan Desert, Bagnold had been fascinated by the shapes of the sand dunes, and after returning to England he built a wind tunnel and conducted the experiments which are the basis of this report. Bagnold made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of desert structures such as sand dunes, ripples and sheets. He developed the dimensionless Bagnold number and Bagnold formula for characterizing sand flow. He also proposed a model for singing sands and made contributions to the science of sedimentology.
189121 pages including 6 colour maps on 5 fold-out sheets. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Buchan's incredible paper is on the scientific questions that arose when discussing the general movements of the atmosphere and of oceanic circulation, with particular relations to physical geography. The amazing Challenger expedition was thereby undertaken for both observational purposes and scientific research. Alexander Buchan was a Scottish meteorologist, oceanographer and botanist, credited with establishing the weather map as the basis of weather forecasting. This extraordinary report is accompanied by six fold-out colour maps.

The author was an ornithologist who devoted much of his time and energy, over thirty years, exploring South America. With a deep reverence for the prominent naturalist, Charles Darwin, who as a young man of twenty made the most notable journey to Chile, Dr. Chapman provides an exceptional report delineating valuable information on certain traces that he found of Darwin and of Darwin's influence in the country. Among author's many fascinating remarks include those of Chilotans - the inhabitants of the island of Chiloe, south of Puerto Montt; Alacalufes or Channel Indians - the cave dwellers; and the inhabitants of British Chile. This is a well written report, depicted with amazing photographs and accompanied by an interesting 4-page discussion, among them include Charles Darwin's son, Major Leonard Darwin, who shared some quotation from the manuscript of the "Voyage of the Beagle", most of which were not printed in the book.
192821 pages, including sketch maps and illustrations. Plus photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is an exceptional report on the geology and natural history of the Island of Tahiti provided by a distinguished naturalist, Dr. Crossland, illustrated with several sketch maps showing Tahiti and Taiarapu; the mouth of the Fautaua River, Taunoa Harbour; the mouth of the Punaruu river, as well as, amazing photographs depicting west coast of Tahiti; the island of Moorea from Atine; the north-east side of Tahara Head; Papeari; beach of Pocillopora on Motu Au; a wrecked islet off Hitiaa; and "Nansouty" islet. The author also discusses how the three easternmost groups of Polynesia differ one from another by decribing their volcanic origin, maritime flats, and coral reefs. Crossland was praised in his obituary in the journal "Nature" as 'one of the last explorer-naturalists of the Darwin type'.
18798 pages. Plus a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 8.25 x 9 inches (21 x 23cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fascinating expedition report on the Malay Archipelago, specifically the Cocos or Keeling Islands, accompanied by a visually appealing and valuable fold out colour map for illustration. Charles Darwin formulated a theory of the origin of coral reefs, This report mentions Darwin's theories and observations frequently, and is an excellent example of how early and how widely Darwin's work and theories were accepted by all his peers regardless of the apparent controversy he stirred up.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. A narrative replete with natural history facts from Major Hingston, a member of the ill fated 1924 British Everest Expedition looks specifically at animal life in Tibet at various altitudes. Interesting examination of animal coping strategies: hibernation, burrowing, camouflage capabilities. Features the residents of the highest altitudes: the minute Attid spiders at 22,000 feet; the highest plant seen was a small arenaria (A. musciformis) at 20,000 feet; at Camp III, 21,000 feet, Hingston saw choughs and a jungle crow, both of which seem to have followed up the camp. And a rose-finch which he saw there seemed to have been migrating across the range. Another visitor was a humble-bee. Traces of fox and hare were seen at 21,000 and they were both seen above 20,000 feet. The camp at 20,000 feet on the Kharta glacier was daily visited by lammergeier, raven, red-billed chough, alpine chough, and black-eared kite. Droppings of burrhel were seen at 20,000, and the sheep themselves were fairly common between 17,000 feet and 19,000 feet. A pika of a new species (Ochotona wollastoni) was found from 15,000 feet to 20,000 feet. An unseen mouse entered the tents and ate food at 20,000 feet. At 19,000 feet in the Kharta Valley dwarf blue meconopsis, many saxifrages and curious sasusureas, large composites packed with cotton-wool, were found. At 18,000 feet were the smallest rhododendrons (R. Setosum and R. Zepidotum), a dwarf blue hairy delphinium (D. brunnoneanum) in the Kharta Valley; and Wollaston also saw there at this altitude the very handsome red-breasted rose-finch. And Hingston found immature forms of a new genus of grasshopper on the desolate moraines at 18,000 feet, and at the same height was a Guldenstadt’s redstart. At 17,000 feet life forms multiplied substantially.
18863 reports in one issue, altogether 45 pages. Plus a fold-out graph. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The three authors outline methods and intricacies in the surveying of unknown regions and vastly unique terrains, while also elucidating their contemporaries to customs and law in Indian territories in which great potential is seen for the British Empire. Barron expounds on the complex system of proprietary and cultivating tenures, claimed by decendants of ancient lineage, conquerors of the latter, village headmen fighting for hereditary rights, farmers and servants of the State, each ultimately contributing to a most profitbale source of revenue for the Indian Government.
188123 pages, including an in-text illustration of Sangai. Plus a fold-out sketch diagram. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Twenty-three years after his triumphant and disastrous conquest of the Matterhorn, Whymper turned his attention to the soaring Andes peaks of Ecuador. This expedition was designed primarily to collect data for the study of mountain sickness and of the physical effects of altitude. The summits of Chimborazo (20,948 feet) and six other mountains between 15,000 and 20,000 feet were reached for the first time. A night was spent on the top of Cotopaxi (19,613 feet), and the features of that great volcano were studied. In his valuable report, Whymper includes a data table of temperatures and heights of mountain summits of Chimborazo, Corazon, Cotopaxi, Sincholagua, Antisana, Pichincha, Cayambe, Sara-urcu, Cotocachi, and Carihuairazo. From the wider points of view of the geographer, the geologist, and traveller, Whymper brought home much valuable material. This illuminating account pre-dates the author's book, "Travels Amongst the Great Andes of the Equator" published in 1891. Accompanied by a sketch diagram, illustrating the northern part of Mr. Whypmer's travels.
