Item description from seller

Calcutta, The Government of India, 1865. Large 8vo. 154 pp.; frontispiece map and eight lithographed plates with explanatory text leaves. Original printed wrappers. = An important, early - perhaps first - paper on the rich faunas of the Spiti formations which, subsequently, where the subject of many palaeontological papers. In this work, however, the author already described and illustrated many invertebrates. The author is the Moravian zoologist and palaeontologist Ferdinand Stoliczka (Czech Stolicka (1838-1874). "Stoliczka studied geology and palaeontology at Prague and the University of Vienna under Professor Eduard Suess and Dr Rudolf Hoernes. . In 1862 Stoliczka joined the Geological Survey of India (GSI) under the British Government in India after being recruited by Dr Thomas Oldham (1816-1878). In Calcutta he was assigned the job of documenting the Cretaceous fossils of southern India and published them in the Palaeontologia Indica, along with William Thomas Blanford. By May 1873 this work was completed with four volumes totalling nearly 1500 quarto size pages with 178 plates" (Wikipedia). The first plate contains brachiopods, all others illustrate molluscs, in particular ammonites and bivalves, but also gastropods, etc. This is Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India 5(1). According to the wrapper text, in the rear there should be a paper on gypsum from the same region, to start on p. 153, but Stoliczka's work runs beyond that, to page 154, and only another, coloured map of the region, showing the gypsum distribution, is present. Uncut. Wrappers soiled and detached, otherwise very good.
