= Very rare. Diary by Erling D. Naess of the two month whaling voyage of the 'Vikingen', 16 Dec. 1934-18 Feb. 1935, from Cape Town to the Enderby Land whaling grounds (Antarctic waters). The 'Vikingen' was a Rasmussen whaling company ship. The diary gives detailed notes regarding the catch, as well as technical details and plans of the Vikingen and its companion ships the Vestfold and the Sir James Clark Ross. Erling Dekke Næss (1901-1993) was a Norwegian businessman (and later shipowner), who was asked in 1927 to invest in the Viking Whaling Company Ltd. by two Norwegian whaling pioneers. The plan was to build a whaling ship that included a whaling factory on board, basically a tanker. In 1934 he went to Cape Town to study the whale hunt himself. After a decade the company was sold and Naess entered the oil tanker business.

= Nissen, ZBI 1281; cf. Nissen, BBI 590. John Ellis (1710-1776) was a pioneering zoologist and microscopist who established the animal nature of zoophytes and laid the foundation of marine biology in Britain and Europe. In this work Ellis makes a clear distinction between plants and animals and proves that corals and Bryozoa are animals. This Dutch edition includes plate 38 (not present in the original English version), showing the multiplication of corals. The last plate shows Mr. Cuff's microscope, which the author used for his research. From the "Luyken Landfort" library (armorial bookplate on upper pastedown).
