First edition of "one of the outstanding works of zoological research ever completed on any African region, and the best done by an American" (ANB). This work deals with the field research Chapin performed with Herbert Lang in the Congo from 1909 to 1915, while Chapin was still a student. He spent his career as a curator of ornithology at the American Museum of Natural History, and is widely regarded as one of the best ornithologists of the twentieth century.

New York The American Museum of Natural History. 1932/1939/1953/1954 4 vols. in orig. publishers paperbinding, 756-632-821-843pp., 16x24.5cm., num. b/w illustr., 3 col. illustr. and 1 fold. map of Congo, spines of vol. 2 and 3 slightly damaged, otherwise a very fine and rare compl. 4 volume set. This monumental four-volume monograph presents the definitive scientific treatment of the avifauna of the Belgian Congo, based on decades of fieldwork, expedition material, and taxonomic revision. Including extensive species descriptions, distribution analyses, ecological observations, and hundreds of plates and maps, it remains one of the most comprehensive ornithological works ever produced for Central Africa. The set documents the birdlife of the Belgian Congo through systematic accounts, specimen records, measurements, comparative morphology, behavioral notes, and habitat descriptions. Each volume contains detailed plates, distribution maps, and keys for identification. The work synthesizes findings from major AMNH expeditions and preserves essential data for modern biodiversity research, historical biogeography, and African ornithology. James Paul Chapin (1889-1964) was an American ornithologist affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History. He participated in the Congo expeditions of the early 20th century and became one of the leading authorities on African birdlife. His long-term research, museum work, and extensive field documentation established him as a cornerstone figure in African ornithology.
