De piscibus Amboiensis, etc. 



This atlas of more than 50 plates of fishes, 

 from the library of Albert C. L. Gunther, was 

 presumably taken from the above work (1724- 

 26). 



This man, whose name is sometimes written 

 Valentyn, was a Dutch Protestant missionary 

 in Amboina. His book is the outcome of his 

 travels and experiences in the East Indies, cov- 

 ering two periods, of nine and eight years 

 each.
