About This Item
Washington, D.C.: GPO Magazine. Very Good. Soft cover. pp443-460, plus eight plates. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1956. VG. In plastic report covers. From the introduction: "The Caribees, the Lesser Antilles, the Windward and Leeward Islands! - names to conjure with. This cradle of many of our hurricanes and much of American history is equally fascinating from a purely scientific point of view. It is still a happy and fruitful hunting ground for the naturalist, and so it proved to be during the recent Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition to the Caribbean, sponsored and led by J. Bruce Bredin, of Wilmington, Del. The Smithsonian has long been interested in these islands 'adjacent' to our continent and has welcomed all opportunities such as the present one to learn more about them and their inhabitants - animal, plant, and human, present and past, recent and fossil." .
