Book Description

July 14, 1988
Since its original publication in 1961, the Synopsis has become the standard reference on the taxonomy of Indian avifauna and was the basis for Ali and Ripley's classic 10-volume Handbook of the Birds of India and Pakistan. This second edition correlates and summarizes all current advances in our knowledge of the systematics, ecology, and distribution of Indian birds. The sequence of orders, families, etc., follows current international practice.

Review

'..at last, we have satisfactory coverage, which will be of value not only to taxonomists but also to the increasing number of ornithologists, both amateur and professional, who are focusing their interests on the great wealth of avifauna in the area.' The Quarterly Review of Biology
