Description: Palaeontology: Volume VI, Corals and Bryozoa, Text and Plates, Containing Descriptions and Figures of Species from the Lower Helderberg, Upper Helderberg and Hamilton Groups (Paleontology) by James Hall, Albany: Charles Van Benthuysen & Sons, 1887 In original blindstamped brown cloth with gilt lettered spines and front cover decorations. First edition, quarto, xxvi, 298 pp., plus 66 beautifully executed lithographic plates, each with a descriptive text page. Condition: Light shelf wear with traces of rubbing; gilt bright. The hinges are cracked and starting to weaken; binding is still intact though weak. Interior is clean, unmarked and essentially fox-free. A better than average preservation of this scarce volume. James Hall (1811-1898) was one of the most influential American geologists of the 19th century. For over 50 years, he dominated the fields of stratigraphy and paleontology in the US, amassing one of the largest bibliographies of any American scientist. His monumental 14 volume "Palaeontology of New York" was a taxonomic compilation that attracted international attention to the rich Paleozoic fossil record of New York state. His earlier fallout with Ebenezer Emmons Sr. over the latter's Taconic System, which Emmons dated using a "primordial" trilobite fauna, is legendary. These volumes represent an important contribution to the geology of New York and contain some of the finest paleontological illustrations produced during the 19th century in the U. S.
