I Have To Admit,

I have a mild fascination with the Dodo bird, 

as it happens we have made a number of posts about them in the past, so I was interested when I looked through the catalogue of Antiquariaat Schierenberg, their Catalogue 91 - Ornithology and found 2 books about the bird, the first titled Die Vögel Madagascars und der benachbarten Inselgruppen. Ein Beitrag zur Zoologie der äthiopischen Region, by G. Hartlaub, published in 1877, 

Gustav Hartlaub (1814-1900), was a German ornithologist, medical doctor, and explore,

founder of the famous Journal für Ornithologie. It deals with the avifauna of Madagascar, Comores, Seychelles, Mascarenes, and others,

the work was mention by Wood who I take was the Reverend J. G. Wood who we have featured before,

Prof. R. Owen's Osteologie der Dronte. ( Didus ineptus L.). [AND] Nachschrift, by W. F. G. Behn, published in Dresden, by E. Blochmann & Sohn, in 1868,

the author, Wilhelm Friedrich Georg Behn (1808-1878) was a German anatomist and zoologist. "In 1845-47 he participated in a circumnavigation of the globe aboard the Danish ship 'Galathea'. As a result of the expedition, he collected valuable natural history material for the zoological museum in Kiel. After his return to Kiel, he was appointed a full professor of anatomy and zoology (1848). In 1867 he resigned his professorship at Kiel as a protest against the annexation of Holstein by Prussia and the formation of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein. He then relocated to Dresden, where from 1870 until his death in 1878, he served as president of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina",
