BIRDS OF INDIAN HILLS 



A GUIDE TO THE COMMON BIRDS OF THE INDIAN 

 HILL STATIONS 



BY DOUGLAS DEWAR 



PRESS OPINIONS 



Sunday Times. " Excellent is hardly good enough a term for this volume." 

 Times. " Mr. Dewar writes accurately and vividly of his selected group 



of birds in the Himalayas and Nilgiris, and adds a list of those to be found 



in the Palni Hills." 



Field. " Mr. Dewar gives short descriptions of the most notable species, 



not in wearisome detail as affected by some writers, but in a few sentences 



which carry enough to enable the reader to recognise a bird when he sees it." 

 Aviatic Review. " ... a very useful, compact little volume." 

 Pall Mall Gazette. " The book will appeal most of all to those who have 



occasion to visit Indian hill stations." 



Morning Post. " Now and again he gives us little pictures of bird-life, 



which are pleasant proofs that he is, like M. Fabre, a master of the new 



science that will not select the facts or distort them to suit some splendid 



generalisation."
