Seller's Description:
Fine. 4to (305 x 235 mm), xiii + 236pp, illustrated with 864 colour photographs, indexes of English and scientific names and biographies, end-paper maps: front: The Australasian faunal region; rear, Australia's topography, climatic regions and marine environment. Pictorial laminated boards. Particularly notable in this work is the generous allocation given to photographs exemplifying the great diversity of plumage variations related to sex, race, growth and season. The two parts of the book: land birds and aquatic birds, are divided into a number of sections in which the birds are grouped according to common attributes that are at once recognisable in everyday terms. The book includes articles on The Noisy Scrub-bird; The Paradise Parrot and John Gilbert; and The Discovery of Psitacorum regio (region of parrots). Note: the book weighs 1.5 kilos.
