Bindings tight pages unmarked very good in custom archival mylar covers. CONTENTS: Vol. I contains the principal discussion of Cuvier's famous theory of the correlation of parts- the functional relationship of each bodily organ to every other organ. Also considered are the organs of movement of vertebrate animals; Vol. II addresses the organs of movement of invertebrate animals and the osteology of the head; Vol. III considers the nervous system and sense organs; Vol. IV reviews the organs of mastication salivation and swallowing in vertebrate animals; Vol. V reviews the feeding organs of invertebrate animals; Vol. VI explores the nutritive fluid its reservoirs and the organs that set it in motion in the four types of the animal kingdom; Volume 7 the description of the organs of elaboration and purification of the nutritive fluid through respiration and urinary secretion; and Volume 8 the organs of generation and secretions the swim bladder of the fish and the organs of vocalization. GEORGES CUVIER 1769 – 1832 was a French naturalist and zoologist sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. He expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. He laid the foundations for a method of analysis and comparison applied to the entire animal kingdom and a new branch of natural history was born thanks to his scientific collaboration with Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. This was based on the theory that anatomical and physiological characteristics of animals are molded by their environment. He established four major families: vertebrates mollusks arthropods and radiates. He was the first to apply the concept of an ecosystem viewing it as a vast network in which species interact with one another. GARRISON-MORTON No. 311 "Cuvier played a leading part in the development of paleontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy. He ranks with von Baer as one of the founders of modern morphology. The posthumous second edition offered here revised and expanded by Georges Cuvier's younger brother Georges-Frédéric Cuvier to 8 vols. appeared from 1835-1846." Crochard et Cie hardcover

ref. 67369Paris A. Belin 1819-1829. Large folio approximately 53 x 35 cm. Five plates with explanatory text leaves. Not bound as issued. = Rare part of a magnificent publication with fine large plates of mammals from all over the world. The authors Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1772-1844 and Fréderic Cuvier 1769-1832 were the leading authorities in mammalogy in the first half of the 19th century and the Histoire Naturelle des Mammifères is widely regarded as their magnum opus. This section contains the Australian marsupials - a very little-known group then. It includes "Le wumbat" wombat; "Kanguroo ou macrope géant" two plates one with the red kangaroo the other with the grey kangaroo; Kanguroo ou halmature thétis" probably a "wallaroo"; and "Phalanger de Cook" Australian ring-tailed possum. All as issued without stamps annotations or other markings. All text leaves and all plates uncut and untrimmed resulting in very large margins. Due to these large margins some edges a bit frayed or with minor tears. Two plates irregularly age-toned a few text pages spotted. In all a set in very good condition. Brunet II p. 1536; Nissen ZBI 1525; Casey Wood p. 354. unknown
