A Study of the Structure of Feathers, With Reference to Their Taxonomic Significance (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Structure of Feathers, With Reference to Their Taxonomic Significance
Provided that birds were found to possess constant and peculiar characters in the structure of their feathers, the results of such work would be of high economic importance in the identification of feathers used commercially, and for the confiscation of feathers illegally used in commerce. This belief, in the course of the work, has been amply justified, and already successful diagnoses of unknown feathers have been made for the United States Customs officers in the port of San Francisco.
