Mission Scientifique de l'Omo. [Zoologie, fascicules 1-(63)].
1935-1952 63 papers in nine. Text with numerous plates and figures, paperbound (original, near uniform printed covers). Important entomological contribution to southern Ethiopia (but also with ichthyological and herpetological and a few other non-entomo;ogical contributions). It contains, for instance, Coleoptera by R. Jeannel, Pic, Horn, Paulian and others; Diptera by E. Seguy; Lepidoptera by Le Cerf; Orthoptera by Uvarov, Chopard, and reptiles and amphibians by Roux. Deals also with mammals, crustaceans, etc. The papers published in volumes II-VI are bound in one or two; the three fascicules from volume VII have their own wrappers. Fascicule number 62 is used three times, one being an error of number 61 (both are on Coleoptera), the other, dealing with Hydracarina, probably is number 63. This seems to be last part published. Volume I describes the geology, paleontology and anthropology, thus the Zoology, as far as we know, is complete. A good set in original wrappers, mostly uncut, unopened.
