Vol. VIII titles by authours listed above available on request, all on biology of marine invertebrates such as crabs, crinoids, shellfish etc., 3 by F.A.Potts. Vol.VII is extremely significant in the history of psychology as containing early papers by Watson and Lashley, both subsequently very major figures in the discipline; Vol.VIII appears to be fairly scarce but of less historical significance as far as I can ascertain, though Potts at least remained active long after. Both extremely scarce outside U.S.
