Since I couldn't see a way to view other than the snippet at the link suggested by Michael, I looked for alternative providers. I'm not sure what one has to do to get beyond the snippets.
Volume 2 of this 3rd series in Zoology is available on both BHL and archive.org, as is the last volume of the 2nd series. Volume 1 is not - at least I couldn't see it.
However a page by page view of the Google scan of volume 1 is available at the Hathi Trust [= http://catalog.hathitrust.org/ ].
The volume begins at: http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015069710294 then search for 'annelids'
or the first Johnson page is at:
http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015069710294;q1=annelids;start=1;size=25;page=search;seq=175;view=image;num=152
Unfortunately the plates are of such poor quality that they are invisible seemingly! Perhaps someone has already a scan from an original? If so I could upload it to WoRMS for all. Otherwise I think our library may have it.
