Möbius, Karl August (1825-1908) and Heinrich Adolph Meyer. Fauna der Kieler Bucht. Erster Band: Die Hinterkiemer oder Opisthobranchia.

Some offsetting onto first and last leaves due to acidic endpapers, minor offsetting from plates, occasional soiling but a very good copy with clean plates. Presentation inscription on the front free endpaper of Vol. II: "Der Herrn Redacteuren des Journal de Conchyliologie, Herrn Crosse und Herrn Dr. Fischer hochachtungsfoll die Verfasser." First Edition. Möbius and Meyer's study of the environment and organisms of the Kieler Bucht (the Bay of Kiel in the southwestern Baltic Sea) is a pioneering work of ecology. "In the introduction to this work [Möbius] set forth a program and methodology for modern ecology. The topography and variations in depth, the plant and animal life of the Kieler Bucht were characterized. The concept of 'life community' ('Lebensgemeinschaft' or 'Biocönose') was introduced, although Möbius did not define it more precisely until 1877" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). Möbius is credited with coining the term "biocenose" to refer to an ecological community or ecosystem. "Several features make the general part of Die Fauna der Kieler Bucht unusual. Though faunas were a common type of natural historical writing in the period, most concentrated on listing the animal species in a particular region. Möbius and Meyer went much further, heading toward a tighter connection between a particular set of physical and chemical conditions and the life-forms they supported. In this regard, the identification of so many different faunistic zones in such a small geographic area was innovative. . . . [M]ost discussions of geographic distribution in this period considered large regions of the earth; more local discursive mappings seeking to define, for example, a peculiarly 'German' or 'European' fauna still normally covered a far broader range than the microlevels attributed to the Kiel Fjord" (Nyhart, Modern Nature: The Rise of the Biological Perspective in Germany [2009], p. 143). The second volume of this copy bears the authors' presentation inscription to M. Crosse, the editor of the Journal de Conchyliologie [Journal of Conchology]. The inscription had originally included the name of Dr. Fischer, presumably another editor of the Journal, but this was later crossed out. .

Berlin, Wiegand & Hempel [later Paul Parey], 1873-1893. 16 volumes in five. Folio (35.7 x 25.0 cm).

With contributions by the leading marine biologists of Germany, including Meyer, Möbius, and Haeckel. Much is on plankton, but there ara also papers on benthonic animals, chiefly Radiolaria, fish, Mollusca, etc. It includes the rare start, up to volume 6, and a continuation (volumes 12-21). The five bound volumes are as follows. 1: volume 1, 1871 (published 1873); 2: volumes. 2-3, 1872-1873 (1875); 3: vols. 4-6, 1874-1876 (published 1878); 4: vols. 12-16, 1882-1886 (1887); 5: vols. 17-21. 1887-1891 (1893).

Leipzig, Engelmann, 1865-1872. Two parts in two. Folio (35.4 x 25.7 cm [board size: 36.1 x 26.8 cm). Two title pages (as part of a series, and as a stand-alone), 213 pp.; 46 [24; 22] chromolithographed plates, tinted lithographed map, three tables, including two large, folded; printed errata slip. Original quarter cloth over printed boards. Spines with gilt title. = Rare, classic monograph on the Mollusca of the south-eastern part of the North Sea, Germany, by the German marine biologists and malacologists Heinrich Adolph Meyer (1822-1889) and Karl August Möbius (or Moebius; 1825-1908). The latter is also known as an entomologist. Very beautifully illustrated after drawings by both authors and printed at the Lithographical Press in Hamburg. This is one of the few works with numerous fine illustrations of living molluscs, including nudibranchs. It contains the classes mentioned in the titles, and a species of Chiton (Polyplacophora). The first volume with a handwritten dedication by Möbius on the front free endpaper recto, dated 21 November 1872; the second part with, in the same place, a handwritten dedication in another hand - thus probably Meyer's - to J. B. Meyer (a relative?). Provenance: a stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in both second titles' top margins. Nissen, as well as the title pages, quotes a wrong number of plates. Scattered spotting throughout, as usual. A few plates, and several text leaves toned, with some offsetting. Otherwise a very good, complete set. Caprotti II, p. 40 (404); Nissen ZBI, 2805.
