Each bird family is introduced by a short general account and a key to the family. These keys are based on those of Delacour's Birds of Malaysia (1947) adapted for the avifauna of the Javan province and to emphasize field character rather than measurements in the hand. Species order and English names follow those used in Birds of South East Asia by King et. al. (1975 For birds not listed in King's book I have given the most commonly used English names. Unconfirmed new additions to the Javan list are inserted after their nearest relative with the number affixed with the letter a. Each species has also been given an Indonesian name, whenever possible that most commonly used throughout Indonesia. Where no general Indonesian name exists I have taken I have taken the most widely used Javanese or Sudanese name. Species entries follow a standard format with a full description for each species, emphasizing key diagnostic characters.
