Sobre este artículo
London: John Murray, 1889., 1889. 8vo. pp. xx, 395 + 28(Publisher's Catalogue). with half-title. 2 folding coloured maps, 29 plates (incl. frontis. portrait & 4 coloured lithographs), & numerous text illus. original gilt-stamped cloth (bit soiled, extremities slightly frayed, bookplate removed & rubberstamp erased from lower margin of title, frontis. rehinged). First Edition of the English Translation. The Norwegian naturalist's expedition to Australia, 1880-84, was undertaken partly at the expense of the University of Christiania, with the object of making collections for the zoological and zootomical museums of the University, and of researching the manners and anthropology of the little-known native tribes. One year was spent among the cannibal tribes living several hundred miles north of Townsville. Lumholtz succeeded in securing a large collection of zoological specimens, and discovered four new mammals - a tree kangaroo and three opposums, which are depicted in the coloured lithographed plates. Ferguson 11770. Casey Wood p. 443.. F. Hardcover.
