The is a variant dust wrapper (see Marren, P., The New Naturalists, 1995, p. 293). Marren comments 'I once saw a copy in a plain green, sugar-paper jacket. Did they run out of Ellis jackets and wrap the last few in plain ones?". Either way, in this, probably second state wrapper, this is likely one of the rarest of all editions in the New Naturalist series. This is a New Naturalist Monograph, No. 15. Books in the main New Naturalist series were originally planned to tackle broad subjects such as Wild Flowers, or National Parks. A parallel sub-series of monographs (originally called Special Volumes) was published between 1948 and 1971, regarding single or related groups of species. They are shorter, and produced in a smaller format to the main series. There were 22 Monographs/Special Volumes.
