"Here is a volume that has no parallel. . . . A good reference book for those interested in the details of avian anatomy."--Science Books & Films "A gold mine of facts. . . . Every library and biology department, as well as every birder, should have a copy close at hand."--Roger Tory Peterson, from the foreword One of the most heavily illustrated ornithology references ever written, Manual or Ornithology is a visual guide to the structure and anatomy of birds--a basic tool for investigation for anyone curious about the fascinating world of birds. A concise atlas of anatomy, it contains more than 200 specially prepared accurate and clear drawings that include material never illustrated before. The text is as informative as the drawings; written at a level appropriate to undergraduate students and to bird lovers in general, it discusses why birds look and act the way they do. Designed to supplement a basic ornithology textbook, the Manual of Ornithology covers systematics and evolution, topography, feathers and flight, the skeleton and musculature, and the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, reproductive, sensory, and nervous systems of birds, as well as field techniques for watching and studying birds. Each chapter concludes with a list of key references for the topic covered, with a comprehensive bibliography at the end of the volume.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...a position in the fauna of North America. It is known instantly by the long, slightly curved, serrated-edged mandibles, and the long central tail feathers; the feet are " syndactyle." (These birds have been also associated with the Alcedinidce, which they resemble strongly). FAMILY XXIV ALCEDINIDAE THE KINGFISHERS Latin alcedo alcyon, Greek alkuon halcyon "the kingfisher." This is another family easily distinguishable at sight. It is one, also, difficult to place with accuracy; yet the same general similarity of many of its important features with other birds of the Order associates them, and we cannot reject the likeness. They come naturally in their present position, although high authority has associated them with the Clamatores, as well as After the Woodpeckers. They are a familiar feature of water scenes, and their harsh, rattling cry not easily mistakable. Their general characteristics are: Bill usually longer than head, strong, straight, tough and hard, and like a somewhat compressed cornucopia very sharp at the tip and with immense gape; lower part of tibia bare, tarsus reticulate plainly in front and like the feet small and weak, the toes more or less united at their base, inner toe very short; wings of ten primaries, long compared to the rest of the body, with third quill generally the longest; tail of twelve feathers, short and broad but with feathers small and slender. The typical bird will supply many features at a glance that can be depended ou for all the members of the family wherever they are to be met. The American sub-family is sufficiently characterized by the above family definition. Genus Ceryle, (2 possibly 3 species). Synonym Alcedo. FAMILY XXV CUCULIDAE THE CUCKOOS Latin cuculus, "a...
