Descriptions of fossils from Switzerland in the natural history museum of Bern. Although the title may suggest otherwise, this work is on fossils and not protozoa and includes many molluscs, mainly from the Mesozoic (Pteropodenschichten, Taviglianazsandstein, Korallenkalk, etc.).
Plates foxed as usual, wrappers worn (one part has a split along the spine and another has the back wrapper detached) and the front of the first part a bit soiled; text in good condition. BMC NH, p. 1618.
