Printing Details
First edition. Hardback, quarter leather binding with marbled paper covered boards. 29.5 × 23cm, pp325–458, with 5 plates.
An offprint from the Transactions of the Linnaean Society, this is a comprehensive taxonomic breakdown and inventory of the marine and freshwater decapod crustaceans collected primarily along the coasts of British India (especially the Gulf of Mannar, Madras/Chennai coast, and surrounding waters). There are five full page plates, which are high-detail lithographic illustrations drawn to scale, which show carapaces, claws (chelipeds), and diagnostic appendages vital for identification.
Condition
Good condition. There is foxing to the first few pages of text but clean thereafter. The plates are in good order. The leather binding rubbed to the spine ends but secure.
As of July 2026, books remain duty-free. The price of the book incurs no extra US import fees.
