Review
The Rails of the World fills up a very important gap, and it does it unusually well. The text and the illustrations are both of the highest quality, and it is also easy to read and to consult. The rails, of course, constitute one of the most interesting, attractive and widely distributed group of birds. --Jean Delacour
