Two bookplates on the front paste-down endpaper, one is from the Geological Library of Anthony Wayne Vogdes, and the other of the San Diego Society of Natural History. "General Anthony Wayne Vogdes (1843-1923) was closely associated with the San Diego Society of Natural History during the early years of the 20th Century. Born to a distinguished family of military men, General Vogdes was a self-taught geologist and paleontologist of recognized ability and scholarship." The four reports with pages professionally repaired and bound in half leather over marbled boards, probabably prior to 1900. Pages quite toned. Overall, about very good. Codice articolo 43237
