Donald Thomson's Mammals and Fishes of Northern Australia - secondhand

Donald Thomson's Mammals and Fishes of Northern Australia is a unique record of the work of a brilliant zoologist and anthropologist far advanced for his time.  This superb collection of his original black and white plates, taken in the harsh conditions of northern Australia, shows a remarkable diversity of Australian fauna, their habitats, and also the native inhabitants of the north.

The text includes notes from diaries and records which Thomson kept on his travels as well as details of individual animals in his collection meticulously edited and annotated by Joan M Dixon and Linda Huxley.  Each species covered includes original notes by Thomson, locality map, comments by the authors and where possible, an identification photo and measurement table.
