1820
Notes:
Originally issued as a supplement to E.F.F. Chladni's Ueber Feuer-Meteore (Wien : J.G. Heubner, 1819), as mentioned on the t.p. However, the Beyträge was issued again in 1820 by the same publisher. The re-issue differs from this edition by omitting the phrase "als Nachtrag ... und einer Karte" (and thus the reference to Chladni) on the t.p., and by having an engraved title vignette and additional pages of text (viii, 97 p., IX [i.e. 11] leaves of plates).
Colophon (p. [4] of cover) reads: Wien, 1820. Gedruckt bey den Edlen von Ghelen'schen Erben.
Plate I is printed on double leaves (counted as two leaves of plates in the adjusted pagination statement); the map is printed on an unnumbered leaf. Plate IX has the upper part of the plate (where the caption usually appears) cropped, with the plate number and caption printed at the top of a gray sheet of paper inserted behind the plate.
