Sobre este artículo
New York: American Museum of Natural History, 1913. First Edition. Wraps. Very good. This book is one of the most elaborate monographs ever devoted to a single order of mammals. By its publishing the outlook on the primates has been altered in a way that can be appreciated by those only who have for some time been actively occupied in the study of monkeys. In its 1,351 quarto pages may be found a complete review of the work done in the past by the author himself, his contemporaries and predecessors. It contains descriptions of all the known species drawn up by one person from direct examination of the specimens in all the principal museums of the world. Finally the series of photographs reproduced in 111 of the plates is so well selected and so fine in quality that it might be said almost to exceed in general usefulness the specimens hitherto existing in any one museum" (Science, Vol. XXXIX, No. 992). Elliot (1835-1915) was the first curator of zoology at the Field Museum in Chicago, as well as one of the founders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and the American Ornithologists' Union. Quarto, three volumes: cxxvi [ii], 317, xxxviii + xviii, [ii], 382, xxvi + xiv, 262, clxviii p. with 26 color plates (27 called for, lacking the Lasiopyga l'hoesti plate opposite p.297 in the second volume) and 135 black-and-white plates. The Correction sheet is laid into the third volume. Original printed paper wrappers. Largely unopened. Some general toning and wear along the extremities; else very good.
