Original wrappers bound in. = A volume from one of the longest running and most influential ornithological magazines. Especially the earlier years, with fine plates by Keulemans, Grönvold and others, are very uncommon and sought-after. The current volume contains works on birds from South America (in two parts) by Chubb, birds of the Canary Islands (in four parts) by Bannerman, and birds from South Annam and Cochin China by Robinson and Boden Kloss (in two parts); a detailed obituary of F. D. Goodman, an illustrated paper on the so-called "White Dodo", etc., etc. Especially the paper on Annam and Cochin China birds is very well-illustrated, figuring many new, peculiar taxa. Front wrapper of the fourth part torn and repaired, map of Soudan - belonging to a minor paper - cut in two (binder's error); otherwise in an excellent condition, plates and text clean.
