Northeastern Natural History & Supply is pleased to offer our latest list of rare, antiquarian and out of print books and serials.  List XX includes approximately 500 works on ichthyology, fishes, aquaria, fisheries, fishing and angling.  We have not produced a fishes catalog in 2 ½ years so a new list is past due.  This catalog includes many international titles, some in French and German, dating back to 1830. Titles cover disciplines of taxonomy and classification, identification and morphology, anatomy and physiology, distribution and biogeography, habitat and ecology, hunting and fishing, fisheries and aquaculture, exploration, and paleontology. A few items of interest include William K. Vanderbilt’s Expedition To Galapagos on the “Ara”, Bleeker and Pollen’s Fishes of Madagascar, the fish and reptiles volume of DeKay’sZoology of New York (we also have other volumes in the series- please inquire), Goode’s complete Fisheries and Fishery Industry of the United States, and what is believed to be one of the first works on keeping home aquaria in the U.S.- The Aquarium by P.H. Gosse. Also included are 20 original lithographic plates from the works of Buffon, Couch, and Donovan.
