Original brown cloth with gilt lettering on spine; a very clean copy from the Library of James M. Dolan Jr., with his small blind stamp on title and with a hand-colored bookplate on the paste-down of Volumes I and II of a bird with the motto "vi et industrai.". First edition of Chapin's monumental work, published in four volumes over a period of 21 years. This complete account of the faunal study of this region includes a discussion of the author's ornithological exploration of the Belgian Congo, topography and geology, climate, faunal relations and subdivisions, botanical remarks, and more specific information on the birds, including their geographical distribution and variation, breeding, and evolution. The author arrived in the Belgian (now officially named the Democratic Republic of the) Congo in 1909 as an assistant to the American Museum of Natural History Congo Expedition. He stayed for more than five years, collecting over six thousand bird specimens and cataloguing about one-eighth of the known species in the world. Because he worked on his own, the book is written in the first person, giving it an immediacy and readability that many ornithological studies lack. This is a superb set of a scarce and definitive study (only 300 copies of the first volume were printed). For this work the author was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal fromtheNational AcademyofSciences in 1932. Chapin (1889-1964) was one of the highest regarded ornithologists of his time. He received a doctorate from Columbia University in 1919, andthen began a long career attheAmerican MuseumofNatural History. Chapin served as the 17th president of The Explorers Club from 1949 to 1950.…
