Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A List of the Birds of Australia The present List is simply the logical sequence to my "Reference List to the Birds of Australia," published in the Novitates Zoologicae, vol. XVIII January, 1912. I there placed on record the first attempt to deal with the Birds of Australia from the present day view of subspecies, using that term in its sense of geographical variety. I have endeavoured to make clear to Australians the present acceptance of geographical varieties as a factor which cannot be overlooked. I would also emphasize the fact that field-ornithologists all over the world are recognizing the value of the cabinet worker's methods of subdivision as being a mode whereby accuracy in field-observation is made possible. It is gratifying to acknowledge that the progressive ornithologists of Australia are rapidly realizing that the Birds of Australia must be studied from such a view-point, and are desirous of having a List for reference showing the subdivisions already effected. The preparation of such a List has been a great pleasure to me, as I feel confident that it will induce research into bird-life all over the Commonwealth. It had been anticipated that the "Official Checklist of the Birds of Australia," prepared by the Committee of the Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union and published as a supplement to the Emu, Vol. XII., part 3, January, 1913, would suffice, but the Committee have not dealt with the avifauna from an up-to-date point but have produced a List, professedly prepared on a conservative basis, yet in its conservatism quite novel and reactionary and altogether of a parochial character. This is most regrettable as it is quite impossible in the present century to attempt to stem the advance of knowledge however praiseworthy may be the object. The Checklist Committee have prefaced their Checklist with twenty pages of explanation and justification of their action. This preface is divided into several heads so that easy consideration of the points raised is made possible.

Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook to of Birds of Australia, Vol. 1 of 2 Some few other genera, such as Gmucalus, Ariamus, and Halcyon, are represented in the Indian Islands, on the peninsula of India, and even in some portions of the continent of Asia; and many more genera, and in some instances the same species, extend to New Guinea. The productions of this latter country are, in fact, so similar to those of Australia, that, zoologically speaking, they cannot be separated. In writing thus I, of course, include the southern country of Tasmania, but not New Zealand or its satellites, Lord Howe's, Norfolk, and Phillip Islands, and other adjacent specks in the ocean.

Excerpt from The Birds of Australia, Vol. 3: Comprising Three Hundred Full-Page Illustrations, With a Descriptive Account of the Life and Characteristic Habits of Over Seven Hundred Species If, then, my humble efforts can be made to reach the young, the thoughtless; and the wanton destroyers, teaching them the utility, the intelligence, and the helpless indefensibility of our beautiful birds, and thereby assist in their preservation, I shall be content. I should be guilty of unfairness were I to allow my readers to suppose that all the merit if I may use such a term) of producing this work belongs to me. Indeed, I very much doubt whether it would ever have been accomplished had it not been for the aid rendered by many unselfish and kind-hearted people all over the Australian Colonies, who generously presented me with specimens and afforded valuable information without stint. The works of the eminent men enumerated above have also been a source of invaluable assistance, which I acknowledge with deep gratitude. There have also been many manipulative helpers - some indifferent and many very good, but nearly all willing to do their best. Prominent among the latter is the firm of Messrs. S. T. Leigh Co., the well-known lithographers of Sydney, who have allowed nothing to stand in the way of making the work as good as possible.
