I hate to admit it, but I did a Google search on a phrase from the title
(misspelling it a few times, my German is nil) "die verbreitung der
lucernarien" and Google brought up the website
http://www.archive.org/stream/deutschesdpola10deut/deutschesdpola10deut_djvu
.txt
which had the title and author, volume etc. of the work, where if you click
"full text" you get
http://www.archive.org/details/deutschesdpola10deut
and you can click "view the book" and get the viewable book with turnable
pages at
http://www.archive.org/stream/deutschesdpola10deut
you can choose a search term, "lucernarien" (sorry I misspelled it earlier)
and it takes you to p. 49, which is a list of illustrations, so I paged
forward 2 pages, and there it was.
Then I looked in OCLC to see if there was a copy of the work at the library
with the missing map fragment
Ain't the internet great?

ok Carol, you must tell us what your train of thought was to solve that
puzzle.
