Cephalopoda. Embryology. Fauna and Flora of the Bay of Naples (Fauna und Flora des Golfes von Naepel). Monograph 35. Part I, Vol. II

摘要

The publication of this volume represents two significant events. First, it is the completion of the translation of the monumental monograph by Adolf Naef, the Swiss zoologist who, above all others, shaped the very foundation upon which modern cephalopod systematics, classification, evolution, morphology and embryology are grounded. Second, it represents the culmination of the series of translations into English of monographic works on Cephalopoda, begun in 1972 with the publication of the first volume of Naef's monograph, Systematics, in two parts (1921, 1923). It seems entirely fitting that the series of translations by completed with Naef's Embryology, Volume 2 (1928).
