A Hand-List of the Genera and Species of Birds, Vol. 3: Nomenclator Avium Tum Fossilium Tum Viventium (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from A Hand-List of the Genera and Species of Birds, Vol. 3: Nomenclator Avium Tum Fossilium Tum Viventium

IN the third volume of the Hand-list Dr. Sharpe has concluded his list of all the Mesomyodian Passeres, and has commenced the most difficult portion of his work, the enumeration of the Acromyodian Passeriformes. I notice with pleasure the assistance that he continues to receive from ornithologists of every country in what must be admitted by all to be a work of great importance, and one requiring close study and intimate acquaintance with the subject.

It is hoped that the remainder of the Passeriformes will be included in the fourth and last volume, which is to be published in the course of the year 1902.
