Logos Press Game Birds of India Burma and Ceylon in 3 Vols by Allan O Hume & C H T Marshall
The Three Volume work on the game birds was made using contributions and notes from a network of 200 or more correspondents with 150,000 plates includes 147 colour plates. The chromolithographs of the birds were drawn by W. Foster, E. Neale, (Miss) M. Herbert, Stanley Wilson and others and the plates were produced by F. Waller in London. Hume had sent specific notes on colours of soft parts and instructions to the artists. The volume will enable sportsmen to identify every game bird they may shoot, and ascertain something of its distribution in India and elsewhere, of the places in which it may be sought, and of its habits, food, and nidification so far as these are yet known.
