Original wrappers bound in. = A volume of one of the world's longest-running and most influential ornithological magazines.

D. Goodman, an illustrated paper on the so-called "White Dodo", etc. The paper on Annam and Cochin-China (Vietnam) birds is especially well-illustrated, figuring many new, peculiar taxa.
