Description:Excerpt from Birds of La PlataThe matter contained in this work is taken from the two volumes of the Argentine Ornithology published in 1888-9, and was my first book on the subject of bird life. The late Philip Lutley Sclater, who was at that time the chief authority in this country on South American Ornithology, collaborated with me in the work to the extent of arranging the material in accordance with the most popular system of classification, and also adding descriptions, synonymy, etc., of the species unknown to me. All this matter which he contributed in order to make the work a complete list, I have thrown out, along with the synonymy of the species described by me. And there was good reason for this simplification, seeing that we cannot have a complete list owing to the fact that fresh species are continually being added to it by the collectors; these species, new to the list, being mostly intruders or visitors found on the subtropical northern limits of the country. The original work Argentine Ornithology) was thus out of date as soon as published, and the only interest it still retains for the reader is in the account of the birds habits contributed by me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
