Softcover. Zustand: fair to vg. First edition in book form. Large quarto. (1) 23 (1)pp. (Text), 10 lithographic plates, uncut. Original yellow wrappers with black lettering on cover, protected by modern mylar. Isaac Hays (1796-1879), nephew of educator and philanthropist Rebecca Gratz, was a renown ophthalmologist, editor, and medical ethicist, and was among the "extremely quarrelsome" Philadelphians who described fossil vertebrates in the 1830s and 40s. Hays argued that his name (Saurodon) for a New Jersey specimen should replace Richard Harlan's Saurocephalus, on the grounds that Harlan's 1824 description of a specimen from Iowa was inaccurate.Today, Saurodon and Saurocephalus are both genera belonging to the subfamily Saurodontinae. In 1830, John D. Godman described a fossil specimen from Orange County, NY as a new type of elephant, dubbing it Tetracaulodon. Harlan (whom Godman disliked and had accused of plagiarism) argued it was a juvenile mastodon. Hays took Godman's side, publishing "Descriptions of the inferior maxillary bones of mastodons" (1833) on the subject. Across the Atlantic, Richard Owen initially joined Godman's camp and English transplant George Featherstonhaugh vocally subscribed to the juvenile mastodon theory, which eventually prevailed. This volume is complete with its 10 plates numbered XX to XXIX, with b/w illustrations of mastodon bone structures. Some age wear on wrappers with spine mostly missing, with minor and sporadic chipping along edges of covers. Pages slightly age-toned throughout. Wrappers in overall fair to good-, interior in good to very good condition.…
