Catalogue Of The Passeriformes or Perching Birds In The Collection Of The British Museum

Catalogue Of The Birds In The British Museum, Volume IV

R. Bowdler Sharpe

Printed By Order Of The Trustees

Printed by Taylor & Francis

1879

Preface:

"The Fourth 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 three preceding volumes. It contains an account of all the species of Campophagidae and Muscicapidae known at present. From the author's account it would appear that nearly one fourth of the species known are still unrepresented in the British Museum; and the hope may be expressed that ornithologists and collectors will assist in rendering this part of the National collection more complete than it is at present."
