This is a complete set, in 3 volumes as issued, of Lesqueruex’s classic and still standard work on the Late Paleozoic ( Late Devonian Mississippian Pennsylvanian and lower Permian ) fossil plants and flora of mostly the anthracite and bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania but also with reference to specimens and localities from related Catskill Allegheny Conemaugh and Dunkard Group strata of West Virginia Ohio and New York as well as the Illinois basin and several of the Western States and Territories. The set is as follows: Volumes One and Two Bound Together (as issued)- VOLUME 1 - Cellular Cryptogamous Plants , Fungi , Thalassophytes (Part One); Vascular Cryptogamous Plants , Calamariae , Filicacaea ( Ferns ) with 354 pp.; VOLUME 2 - Lycopodiacaea (Part 1); Sigillariae (Part 2); Gymnosperms (Part 3) with 330 pp., 2 plates.

The Atlas contains 18 pp. and 82 plates of fossil specimens, many of which are tinted. NOTES ON CONDITION OF THE VOLUMES. VOLUMES 1 AND 2 (bound together in one book)- 8vo in original cloth, some wear to cloth per usual, split to cloth at base of spine along gutter, rear hinge cracked, contents are clean. VOLUME 3 - 8vo in original cloth, cloth soiled with wear, private library stamp on paste down, contents are clean; ATLAS - 8vo in marbled boards with quarter leather spine as issued, spine leather with torn gutter, boards weak and worn, hinges cracked, free end papers a bit soiled.

Complete sets start at $350 on the web and tend to run $500 or more if you can find one in a proper, walk-in bookshop. Priced to sell as I reduce the number of duplicate titles in inventory. Highest bidder pays shipping, payment via paypal work just fine. Overseas items shipped airmail and payment must be made using paypal unless arrangements are made prior to bidding. Items shipped within 10 business days from receipt of payment and usually much sooner.
