Very rare work, issued in 85 livraisons and never finished. All of the plates are present and have been arranged with the text in alphabetical order of genera. No table of contents or indices were issued for this work. The missing text pages are Clavagella, p.5 and Sigaretus, p.9-12. There is a printed front wrapper (backed and remargined) in the first volume serving as a title-page.
