Dear John,

The booklet has no publishing date and is becoming rarer and more popular
here aswell in his home country.
The dates I managed to retrieve from the museum library was 1909 for a first
print. I might have been reprinted lateron.
The editor was specialised in anything dealing with zoology, etnography and
paleontology and published/authored/co-authored at least 110 works on the
matter and was author of many articles up till 1962 in mostly French
magazines of natural history and science most of them dealing with Belgian
natural history (fossils etc...).
Hope this helps,
Yves
