The Fauna of British India, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint): Including Ceylon and Burma - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book is the first volume of a series of the new edition of the Avifauna of British India, and the first of its kind for over thirty years. It has been written to disturb the classication adopted by Oates in the rst edition as little as possible but during the thirty -two years that have elapsed since his rst volume was published, much scientic work has been done and many discoveries made which have rendered alterations imperative; some of these, unfortunately, are of a drastic nature. In the rst place, the trinomial system has been adopted - a de rision which has added very greatly to the number of birds to be described, 12. e. to the total number of species and subspecies, though, on the other hand, it has reduced the number of species, for it has relegated to their proper positions as subspecies or geographical races many forms which have hitherto improperly held the status of species. In using the trinomial system the author has adhered to the following rules Forms, or groups of forms, have been named as specic when there are no forms known which directly connect them with other forms or groups of forms. Subspecies or geographical forms have been recognized when they differ in degree either in size, colour or some other characteristic from the forms with which they are most closely connected, yet, though linked with these forms by others which are intermediate, are themselves constant within some given area. This volume contains descriptions of all the members of the Crow, Magpie, Jay, Nutcracker and Chough families to be found in the Indian subcontinent. It provides descriptions of their habits, and remarkable features with ample illustrations. The author provides a deep study of the anatomical features and classication of each family, including controversial and subjective areas of understanding, making this book an excellent resource for academics, scientists, ornithologists and general readers alike.
