Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel examination of the family Ceratelladae, a unique group of hydrozoans situated within the taxonomic order Hydroidea. Despite their superficial resemblance to sponges, detailed analysis reveals their true nature as colonial organisms composed of many interconn…ected polyps. The author meticulously describes the soft and hard tissues of this family and explores their distinct characteristics that set them apart from the closely related Hydractiniidae. The work delves into the anatomical details of the polyp, providing keen insights into its tentacle arrangement and defensive mechanisms. This exploration unveils the complex relationship between the polyp and its protective case, known as the nematophore, highlighting their structural and functional interdependence. The book also compares these structures to those found in the Plumulariidae, revealing fascinating similarities and differences. Ultimately, this book serves as a valuable addition to the field of hydrozoan research, expanding our understanding of this intriguing marine group and offering a comprehensive analysis of a unique and understudied family. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1932. Octavo, xii (last blank), 174, [1] (colophon) pages with a map and 2 illustrations. Cloth a little marked; new endpapers; 'School of Oriental and African Studies, London' stamp on the verso of the title page and the last page of text, and a 'SOAS Lib…rary Withdrawn' stamp on the title page; a very good copy (internally excellent). 'The greater part of this book consists of the correspondence between Sir Baldwin Spencer and Sir James Frazer . [and] these provide a nearly continuous account of the progress in method and discovery made by the Explorer during his three great Australian Expeditions'. These expeditions were conducted in conjunction with Francis James Gillen, Spencer's '"most important discovery" according to Professor Elliot Smith'. The introduction further states that 'The news of Gillen's death reached Spencer while he was camping on the East Alligator River in the Northern Territory. Through the kindness of Gillen's son, we are able to quote a part of Spencer's letter to Mrs. Gillen, dated June 18, 1912'. Spencer died on a field trip to Tierra del Fuego in July 1929.

Edited by Philip Batty, Lindy Allen and John Morton. Melbourne : Miegunyah Press, 2005. Quarto, illustrated wrappers, pp. xv; 223, illustrated. 'In 1894 Spencer was appointed as biologist and photographer for the Horn Expedition, the first scientific expedition to Central Australia. In 1901, he and Frank Gillen set off from Oodn…adatta to Borroloola and took an amazing 500 glass-plate photographs, 2,000 feet of moving film and recordings of Aboriginal songs on wax cylinder phonograph. The Baldwin Spencer photographic archive is now regarded as one of the earliest and most significant ethnographic records of Aboriginal life in Australia. This extraordinary collection recorded with compassion and beauty the day-to-day lives of Aboriginal people and their cultural traditions and was to be one of the first major template for European Australia's understanding of indigenous Australians. This expanded, new edition of "The Photographs of Baldwin Spencer" includes stunning panoramic images of the Top End that have never before been published, as well as essays by prominent thinkers in this field, such as John Mulvaney, Howard Morphy, Nicolas Peterson and Philip Jones. The essays give us a way to understand and consider Spencer's work, the collaboration with Gillen and importantly, how the present generation of Aboriginal Australians view their work. "The Photographs of Baldwin Spencer" will remain one of the most important records of Aboriginal people at the time of early white settlement. With more than 140 powerful images including stunning portraits and extraordinary documentation of ceremonies and traditions, this is a unique and valuable archive.' - the wrapper.

Condizione: Very Good. Octavo, two pages (the outer surfaces of a bifolium) on the letterhead of the 'Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria | The National Museum'. Folded twice horizontally for posting; a few creases; scattered light foxing; in excellent condition. Spencer writes: 'Dear Mr Carter, I have writ…ten to Mr Baracchi telling him that you are anxious to see him & giving him your address. As it is Easter time & he is a free man it is just possible that he may be going out of town. You have got a most excellent man in Steele [sic] - I don't think he has worked much at Annulates but anything he does will be thoroughly well done. Flynn I think will do the Mammals well - at all events he has the knowledge - but I do not know whether he can write in a semi-scientific style. With all good wishes for the success of your work. Yours very sincerely, W. Baldwin Spencer'. 'This Encyclopaedia was first projected in 1912 as a historical and biographical record . and much material had been collected when the outbreak of war in 1914 temporarily halted its progress. In 1917 work was resumed, and it was decided to include articles on scientific subjects also. For this section of the work we were fortunate to obtain the services of Mr Herbert J. Carter . who was able to secure the co-operation of the leading men of science in Australia' (from the preface to the 1925 first edition). Sir Walter Baldwin Spencer (1860-1929), 'university scientist and administrator, anthropologist and connoisseur' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography') was honorary director of the National Museum of Victoria from 1899 and, with William Ramsay Smith, contributed much of the entry on Australian Aboriginal people; Thomas Steel contributed the entry on the genus Periptatus (and has his own posthumous entry in Volume II); and T. Thomson Flynn (zoologist and father of the better-known Errol) appears not to have made a contribution. Signed.
