First Edition
Printed wrappers, 8vo, xvii, [1], 42 pp. From the preface - "The purpose of this work, which forms a first supplement to A Bibliography of British Ornithology by W. H. Mullens and the author, is to give the names of all the species and subspecies of birds on the British list arranged in order of the dates when they were first scientifically described, the work in which the description and accepted specific name first appeared being indicated. In brief it is an attempt to summarise the history of the names of British birds. The nomenclature, etc., are based on Hartert, Jourdain, Ticehurst and Witherby s 'Handlist of British Birds,' 1912, with the necessary emendations which have since arisen. The list of genera prefixed is likewise arranged in the order of their creation, and only those genera actually employed in the following list are included. Those names simply taken from old authors are indicated, as well as those created from specific names, while original names are distinguished and their meaning given. I have appended also alphabetical lists of discarded generic and specific names with their equivalents in the new nomenclature." Wrappers darkened and detached from textblock, otherwise Good.

First Edition
FIRST EDITION. With 40 color plates from drawings by Henrik Grönvold (1 is a duplicate) and 17 sepia photogravures. Later green buckram with gilt lettering on spine. An excellent and very clean copy of this beautiful book from the library of Dr. James M. Dolan Jr.,directorof collections for the San DiegoZoologicalSociety, with his blind-stamp. First edition of this preeminent work, limited to 412 copies, the only publication to document completely the diurnal birds of prey. A systematic treatment of every species and sub-species, this treatise provides the classification, characteristics, and distribution of birds such as vultures, condors, buzzards, hawks, eagles, and falcons, to name a few. The publication of this work was delayed for some time by the death of the author in 1926, after he had completed the first six parts. It was later taken up and finished by the esteemed ornithologist Alexander Wetmore (1886-1978), who served as Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian as well as of the Director of the Natural History Museum. Swann (1871-1926), an English naturalist, was one of the partners in the publishing firm Wheldon and Wesley Ltd., and a corresponding fellow of the American Ornithologist's Union. He founded the Naturalist's Journal of which he was the editor for two years. Grönvold (1858-1940), a Danish naturalist, was one of the great ornithological artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He worked at the London Natural History Museum both as a taxidermist and an artist where became well known for his illustrations of birds and eggs.
