Book Description
Excerpt from The Game Birds of India and Asia Internally, the birds of this family are note worthy for their large crop or food-receptacle in the gullet, and powerful gizzard or grinding stomach; their breast-bone is also remarkable, being so deeply cut into at each side by two great notches that hardly any of the body of the bone is left, and it presents, when cleaned, the appear ance of a narrow central portion bearing the deep keel, and a somewhat V-shaped projection on each side.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Game Birds of India and Asia Burmese species; exotic ones are to be found under tile British Museum Catalogue names, and in the case of birds described since the publication of that work, under the names given by their describers, with references to the publication where the descriptions appeared. I have not, however, considered it necessary to deal with the many so-called species of Phasianus (typical pheasants) or Gennœus (kaleeges) described of late years, as there is so much doubt about the validity of these, and such sub-divisions are not of any great interest to sportsmen, for whom this work is primarily designed.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of the Game Birds of India: Part I. Land Birds In the present small volume, I have attempted to give a brief but, I hope, sufficient account of some of the Indian Game Birds, and I propose to complete the account of the remaining Birds without undue delay. Of the books which have been written on the subject of the Game Birds of India, the large illustrated work of Messrs. Hume and Marshall is at once the most comprehensive and the most important. It is, however, nearly twenty years since this work was published, and in the interval many species of Game Birds have been added to the Indian list.
