The Birds of Tunisia, Vol. I Being A History Of The Birds Found In The Regency Of Tunis Tunisia J.I.S. Whitaker 13 colour plates: H. Grönvold R.H. Porter 1905 From the introduction: "The object of the present work is chiefly to supply a want, which I myself, and probably others, have felt, in the absence of any English publication which treats systematically of the birds to be found in the Regency of Tunis. It is true that during the past few years our brother-ornithologists in Germany have not been idle in this part of North-west Africa, but, on the contrary, have contributed valuable information to our knowledge of the Tunisian Avifauna, and to Prof. A. Koenig of Bonn and the late Carlo Freiherr von Erlanger of Ingelheim, we are indebted for highly interesting accounts of their researches in the Regency, which have been published in the Journal fur Ornithologie"
