In the Australian Bush, and on the Coast of the Coral Sea: being the Experiences and Observations of a Naturalist in Australia, New Guinea, and the Moluccas

Abstract

ZOOLOGISTS have during the past few years reaped the benefit of Dr. Semon's travels in Australasia and in the Malayan Archipelago in the beautifully illustrated series of memoirs entitled “Semon, Zoologische Forschungsreisen in Australien und dem Malayishen Archipel,” and published as part of the Jena Denkschriften. Five quarto volumes have already been published, running to some 1600 pp. and 113 plates, many of which are coloured. They contain memoirs on Ceratodus, Monotremes, Marsupials, Manis, the Dugong and other vertebrates, as well as important communications on various invertebrates; most of these have been contributed by well-known European specialists, Dr. Semon himself being responsible for the monographs on the development of Ceratodus, and of the Monotremes and Marsupials.
