Indian Birds 
As a further aid to identification I have, in 
all cases in which a species has been figured in 
any book which is easily procurable, stated 
where the picture of the bird is to be found. 
Most stations in India boast of a library of 
sorts, which is likely to contain some, at any 
rate, of the books referred to. In order to. 
save space I have used abbreviations for the 
titles. Thus (Illus. F. I, p. 298) means that a 
picture of the bird in question will be found 
on page 298 of Volume I of the bird volume 
of The Fauna of British India.
