This is a scarce first edition hardcover copy of "The Fauna of Mayfield's Cave" by Arthur M. Banta, printed in 1907. Hand written twice stated author's copy, making it even more unique for any collector or enthusiast of antiquarian books. The binding is in very good condition, and the pages are free from any major damage or markings. Very good overall.  The publisher, Carnegie Institution of Washington, is well-known for its contributions to scientific research and education. This book is a great addition to any collection related to natural history, speleology, or early 20th century publications.
