Catalogue Of The Passeriformes or Perching Birds In The Collection Of The British Museum Coliomorphae, containing the families Corvidae, Paradiseidae, Oriolidae, Dicruridae and Prionopidae Catalogue Of The Birds In The British Museum, Volume III R. Bowdler Sharpe 13 colour plates: J.G. Keulemans Printed By Order Of The Trustees Printed by Taylor & Francis 1877 Preface: "The Third Volume of the 'Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum ' has been prepared by Mr. R. B. Sharpe, one of the Senior Assistants in the Zoological Department, and author of the two preceding volumes. It contains the commencement of the account of all the species of Passerine Birds known at present; and as no similar monograph of these Birds has been published since the year 1850, it may be hoped that the present work will not only assist the numerous students of this portion of the British Museum collections, but also prove useful to ornithologists, travellers, and collectors."
