Description: Paris, Muséum national d'Histoire Naturelle, 1943, 1947. Two parts in two, 4to (28.0 x 22.8 cm). pp. 63-230, 231-562, one folded coloured geological map of southern Ethiopia and adjacent territories (Kenya, Sudan), four full colour photographic plates, 42 b/w plates (two showing Mollusca, 40 mammals, crocodiles, etc.). Original printed wrappers. = Part II consists of three papers, of which two geological/palaeontological, and one anthropological, namely: "Contribution à l'anthropologie de l'Afrique orientale: les Tourkana et les Kikouyou" by P. Lester (55 pp.); "Mollusques fossiles et subfossiles du Bassin du lac Rodolphe" by J. Roger (37 pp.); "Contribution a l'étude géologique et paléontologique du Bassin du lac Rodolphe et de la basse vallée de l'Omo. Premier Partie. Géologie" by C. Arambourg (74 pp.). All are very well-illustrated. The malacofauna of Lake Turkana is very peculiar with many endemes. Uncut. Spine reinforced with tape, top corner of front wrapper cut of, otherwise a good copy. Part III is a continuation of Arambourg's paper, viz. "Contribution a l'étude géologique et paléontologique du Bassin du lac Rodolphe et de la basse vallée de l'Omo. Deuxième Partie. Paleontologie" (340 pp.). Unopened. Together a very good set. Apparently, fascicule II is rare. Not in Nissen ZBI.
