as posssible, a description of the adult male, the adult female, the immature bird, and the nestling; the eggs and the nests are also described, and the breedings-months stated. then follows an account of the habits and life-history of the birds, including long quotations from the literature.\" (anker p. 163) \n \n \"time was also running out for j.g. keulemans but not before he had started
