Album of 18 well-preserved algal specimens carefully mounted on individual sheets of white wove paper, each approximately 330 x 155 mm. Loosely laid in to folding portfolio, housed in a marble clamshell box. A rare and early ensemble of algae specimens collected from the Red Sea, from different areas between Suez and Yemen, including one specimen from Alexandria. All items identified with the Latin name and details of the location around the Red Sea and date of collection written in French on the mounts, e.g., "Caulerpa prolifera: très commune dans toute la mèr rouge á la prodondeur de 1½ mètre à 2 [.] Avril 1844", or "Mer rouge dans le Golfe de l'Acaba, Juillet 1844". - The French botanist A. H. Husson, a native of Nancy, was also a pioneer of early photography. He lived in Egypt, where he worked as the director of the botanical garden and conservator for the Museum of Natural History for the Qasr Al-Ainy, the Cairo University's Faculty of Medicine. - "The Red sea has been a region of natural history exploration by European scientists from about 240 years. The first record of marine algae in the Red Sea was by Strand (a pupil of Linnaeus's), who in his thesis on the flora of Palestine listed three species. The first person to collect marine algae from the Saudi Arabian Red Sea Coast was the Danish botanist and explorer Forsskal in the 18th century who, in the month of November 1762, made a collection of seaweeds from the Sea of Jeddah [.] In the early years of the 19th century a British admiral Viscount Valentia made collections of algae from the Red Sea [.] Several other workers, including medical doctors and amateurs, collected marine algae from the Red Sea during the rest of the 19th century" (Beni-Suef Univ. Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3/4 [Dec. 2014], pp. 278-285). - Includes the offprint of a short biography of Husson: Christian Debize, "L'album photographique d'Anne-Henry Husson. Regards d'un colon nancéien dur l'Egypte moderne", Annales de l'Est (1985), no. 4, pp. 261-299. Stab-sewn in wrappers. - A most exceptional and scarce collection of preserved algal specimens from the Red Sea. - From the property of the botanist Dr. Eugene L. Vigil (b. 1941), of Lynden, Washington, USA.

Large folio (340 x 555 mm). (6) pp. With 24 charts. Original publisher's morocco-grain limp cloth, title in gilt on front cover. First and only edition of this scarce meteorological atlas of the Red Sea with an excellent provenance; only 650 copies were printed, and only 15 are currently listed in institutions on OCLC. A hugely detailed scientific undertaking: much of the information collected here would have been of great military and commercial interest, and also quite relevant to British surveillance of the Red Sea, including traffic through the still relatively new Suez Canal and the movements of pilgrims to Mecca during the Hajj. - The charts were prepared from logs and observations made by the British Royal Navy, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, and the Royal Meteorological Institute of the Netherlands at Utrecht. As Robert H. Scott, executive head of the Meteorological Office, notes in his preface, ''very few observations have been obtained prior to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and nearly all the material [.] is of necessity from steamships which follow much the same track within very narrow limits". However, in certain cases further anecdotal evidence is included, such as an 1879 report by the H.M.S. Seagull, which describes a difficult approach to the port city of Jeddah, where she contended with shifting currents and winds. - The charts are divided into two sections, "Winds" and "Currents", with each section covering twelve months each. Beyond their main subjects, the charts provide a wealth of related information on barometer readings, air temperature (both wet bulb and standard), sea temperature, and incidences of stormy weather and gales. The charts also name key ports along the Red Sea and especially along the Saudi Arabian coast, including Al Muwaileh, Yanbu, Jeddah, and Al Lith. - No copies traced in auction records. An uncommon and important maritime record of what is now perhaps the most important shipping lane in the world. - Deaccessioned library copy, with small stamps and other subtle markings; in very good condition. - 1) From William Haultain Milner (d. 1901), with the presentation label, "Presented by the Meteorological Council to Captain W. H. Milner, R.M.S. 'Para', as an Acknowledgement of his Valuable Meteorological Observations". The Para was a ship of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (1839-1930), commissioned in 1875. - 2) With three small "British Museum (Natural History)" collection and deaccession stamps to the title-page and blank verso of the final chart. Milner was a regular donor, credited by the museum in 1896 for donating numerous samples gathered "with great zeal" from Cartagena and the midAtlantic. - OCLC 17283647.

It includes a foreword by the Hydrographer of the Navy, Rear-Admiral George Stephen Ritchie (1914-2012), who served most of his Naval career in the Surveying Service providing the raw data for the Hydrographic Office. The introduction clearly states that with the publication of this volume the previous edition and its supplements are cancelled, since the most up-to-date information has been compiled in the new edition and the weekly "Notices to Mariners" that appear after the publication of the 11th edition. The 11th edition of 1967 and its 1977 supplement were made redundant with the publication of the 12th edition in 1980. Each subsequent edition of the pilot supersedes the last, which have appeared infrequently depending on newly available information since the mid-19th century until the present day. - Binding slightly rubbed and faded, first two pages are printed on red/pink paper, edges of the volume are very slightly soiled.

Oblong folio (ca. 310 x 385 mm). Blank bill of lading for a vessel of the British Strick Line, an operator of cargo liners between the UK and the Mediterranean and (more significantly) the Gulf. It lists the company's consignees and agents with residencies including Bagdad, Bushire, Jeddah, Port Said, Bahrain and Kuwait. With extensive "exceptions, limitations and conditions" in small print. - In 1887 the London shipbroker and coal exporter Frank Clarke Strick (1849-1943) founded the London and Paris Steamship Company Ltd. to raise capital and the Anglo-Algerian Steamship Company Ltd. to operate his ship. It began a pattern of cargo trading which lasted for many years and carried coal from the UK to West Italian ports, and iron ore from Benisaf in North Africa to the United Kingdom or the European continent. A successful voyage to the Gulf in 1892 with coal and general cargo prompted Strick to enter the Gulf trade and to found a new company, the Anglo-Arabian and Persian Steamship Company Limited. By the beginning of the 20th century, Strick had 15 ships sailing under his flag, primarily in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf trades. - Some tears; one long vertical tear repaired with tape.

It includes an (erroneous?) "advertisement to the eight edition" by the Hydrographer of the Navy, Rear-Admiral Kenneth St Barbe Collins (1904-1982). The advertisement states that with the publication of "the ninth edition" (presumably this volume) the previous edition and its supplements are cancelled, since the most up-to-date information has been compiled in the new edition and the weekly "Notices to mariners" that appeared after the publication of the 11th edition. The 10th edition of 1955 and its 1957 supplement were made redundant with the publication of the 11th edition in 1967. Each subsequent edition of the pilot supersedes the last, which have appeared infrequently, depending on newly available information, from the mid-19th century until the present day.The front paste-down and recto of the first free endpaper contain a "caution" notice and room for the notation of "supplements and annual summaries of notices to mariners relating to this book", the first two pages are printed on red-pink paper.
