>Dear colleagues,
>
>According to the contacts we have made about who might help us alert the
>international police, book sellers and bibliophiles regarding rare books
>belonging to the Emilio Goeldi Museum of Pará, Brazil, that were recently
>stolen and may be offered for sale by criminals on the antiquarian book and
>art markets, you were indicated as a key person who could reach out to a
>broad spectrum of rare book dealers.
>
>I am sending below a list of the stolen items, which includes 65 volumes of
>40 titles from the 17th to the early 20th centuries, concentrating on the
>natural history of tropical America, with emphasis on South America. The
>works include three separate works by Spix on Brazilian reptiles, frogs and
>bats, Meriaen on Suriname insects, Cramer on exotic tropical lepidoptera,
>and Piso on Brazilian plants, among other very rare and valuable works, both
>in-folios and books.
>
>If you could put a call out to your associates with the list, it will be
>much appreciated. The Goeldi Museum, founded in 1866 in Belem at the mouth
>of the Amazon, is an institution of the Brazilian Ministry of Science and
>Technology, so investigations in Brazil are being carried out by the Federal
>Police, and Interpol has been alerted, as well.
>
>Even though the authorities have been advised, we also feel that the
>collaboration of high-profile, reputable organizations such as yours is a
>key to recovering these important parts of Brazil's national archival
>heritage.
>
>Thank you in advance for any help you may provide, including indicating the
>names of other organizations you feel might provide us with assistance.
>
>Sincerely yours,
