Bemerkung:

Very rare first and only edition. Karl Bogislaus Reichert is famous for his pioneer research on cyclo theory. Together with Ernst Gaupp he was co-architect of the Reichert-Gaupp theory. The present work, in which he investigates the ear of mammels, complex organs of preception, give a detailed knowledge about anatomy and morphology of the ears. The Reichert-Gaupp theory were the background for the studies on the huma ear. - "First description of the visceral arches in vertebrates" (Garrison/Morton 482).

Müller and others. - See Hirsch/Hübotter IV, 752; Nordenskiöld, History of Biology, p. 398-400; NDB, vol. 21; DSB p. 360 ff for extensive articles; not at Wellcome, Waller, Josephin.
