Colour & b/w photographs, illustrations, photograph end-papers. Green cloth gilt. Fine unread copy. Detailed account of the bird collection assembled by Lt. Colonel Charles Theodore Echalaz at the turn of the twentieth century.

A description of each surviving case is accompanied by a colour photograph taken especially for this book.
