First edition. 8vo. lxv, 386, [ads.] 4 pp. 174 text engravings; occasional light foxing. Original blue-green cloth, gilt spine. Early ownership rubber stamp of A. A. Baker. Very good. "Bell was at the heart of the scientific establishment and when Charles Darwin returned to London from the Beagle expedition on 2 December 1836, Bell was quick to take on the task of describing the reptile specimens. He was also entrusted with the specimens of Crustacea collected on the voyage. He was the authority in this field; his book British Stalk-eyed Crustacea is a masterwork. He played a significant part in the inception of Darwin's theory of natural selection in March 1837 when he confirmed that the giant Galápagos tortoises were native to the islands, not brought in by buccaneers for food as Darwin had thought." [Wikip.] Thomas Bell was President of the Linnean Society. Seller Inventory # S8478
