Popular Handbook of Indian Birds		Â£25.00 *	Hugh Whistler.Mr Whistler knows the Indian birds well and is particularly happy in his descriptions of their habits.He describes the outstanding points by which birds can be recognised in the field,without which the most exact account of a dried specimen is often little help.He includes their systematic classification,but puts it aside from his main text;and he indicates sub-specific differences without giving them too much importance.But,above all,he recognises the indispensability of good pictures;and Mr Gronvold has worthily collaborated with him in the production of coloured and uncoloured drawings which are precise and life-like.Order details here Hardback;First published 1928.560 pp .A classic volume.This copy 1963 fourth reprint which is fine in a slightly torn d/w at bottom corner.
