La Fauna de las Costas Uruguayas Del Este (Invertebrados)

by Luis P. barattini & Elias H. Ureta

1960, Museo Damaso Antonio Larrañaga, Montevideo, Uruguay, in Spanish, paper covers, 195 pages, 6½ by 9½ inches (17 by 24 cm), with 41 additional black and white photographic plates with one plate in color, some drawings in text

This book is one that is very scarce and it is an invaluable guide to the invertebrate marine life found in the waters of Uruguay. The greater part of the book is given to the mollusks. The book is well illustrated for its' time and the photography is sharply detailed. The text is in Spanish. This is a used copy and the covers are discolored near on on the spine, the body of the book has separated from the covers and has been repaired and reinforced and the book should be serviceable for a long time to come. The text and the plates are in excellent shape but there is some toning on the upper edges of a few of the text pages.
