Transcriber's Note:
This book is a field guide. The pages were divided vertically, with thetabular matter on the top half, and the Lecture on the bottom half ofthe page. The ebook has been re-arranged so that the separate parts have asmoother flow. The top parts of the pages have been left intact, butthe bottom parts have been collected together and moved, so thatthe Lecture text for each ORDER precedes the tabular listing anddescriptions for that ORDER. The only exception is for ORDER XXI. ORDER XXI.—Perching-Birds—contains 11,500 species, more thanthree-fifths of the world's 19,000 birds. It has been arranged intosets of suitable groups of FAMILIES, to make it easier to access.
