Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Birds of Australia, Vol. 1
In some cases the meagre accounts of the life-history of species I have dealt with has been commented upon, but what I have written is all that is on record that can be trusted. My book therefore shows how little is known regarding the species already treated, and how much has yet to be learned. When searching the literature this has been especially impressed upon me, as I have found that many accounts printed in Australian books are made up of items relative to extra-australian forms.
