Oligomyodæ, or the families Tyrannidæ, Oxyrhamphidæ, Pipridæ, Cotingidæ, Phytotomidæ, Philepittidæ, Pittidæ Xenicidæ and Eurylæmidæ, by P.L. Sclater. 1888 written by British Museum (Natural History). Department of Zoology and published by . This book was released on 1888 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enormous undertaking, which, according to one of the prefaces, professes to be a complete list of every bird known at the time of publication, kept growing even as it was being written. The Museum added eagerly to their already vast collections during the decades of publication, acquiring by gift the great collections of A.O. Hume on Asian birds, and those of Sclater and Salvin and Godwin on Neotropical birds, so that the size of the collection nearly tripled between 1874 and 1888. Sharpe originally intended to do all the work himself, but others were called in when this became clearly impossible. The plates are all of birds not previously illustrated. In the decades following its publication this catalogue was universally acclaimed as the most important work on systematic ornithology that has ever been published. (Zimmer, p. 96). And even after one hundred years it remains an essential reference for the serious ornithologist, as it underpins a great deal of modern bird classification. With 387 plates, most hand-coloured lithographs, some chromolithographs, by William Hart, J.G. Keulemans, Joseph and Peter Smit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Passeriformes, or Perching Birds: In the Collection of the British Museum The present volume treats of the first group of the Passeriformes or Perching Birds, the Coliomorphw. The total number of species enumerated is 367, of which the British Museum contains 315 so that 52 are still wanting to complete the collection: of these missing Species quite half the number are of doubtful specific value, and many of them will be eventually found to be referable to species which are duly described in the present work. The number of specimens enumerated is 2014. It is not without some satisfaction that the author is able to record the increasing assistance rendered to him by fellow labourers, by presentations to the collection and by the loan of Specimens. Especial mention must be made of a donation of 1303 skins of Indian and Malayan birds made to the Museum by Capt. Stackhouse Pinwill. The series in the British Museum includes the collection of Carvidaa formed by Mr. John Gould, the African birds formerly belonging to the author, Mr. Wallace's fine series of Malayan Crows, and specimens collected by Mr. W. T. Blanford in Persia and by Dr. J. Anderson during the Yunan Expeditions. The Museum is further indebted for presents to the following gentlemen - Lord Lilford, Major Hayes Lloyd, Captain G. E. Shelley, Dr. B. Hinde, Captain Vincent Legge, A. O. Hume, Esq., c.b Messrs. Wdodward (of Natal), and especially to the authorities of the Smithsonian Institution, who have contributed several species which were want ing to the collection.
