Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Birds Collected by the Childs Frick Expedition to Ethiopia and Kenya Colony: Non-Passeres This report, covering the nonpasserine birds collected by the Childs Frick African Expedition, was undertaken, the material studied, and the report finished while I was a member of the department of biology in Amherst College and an associate in African ornithology in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. The actual study of material and literature was done at the latter institution, where Messrs. Outram Bangs and James Lee Peters very kindly put the collections under their care at my disposal. Dr. Thomas Barbour has greatly facilitated the present study by generously purchasing for the Museum of Comparative Zoology many species of East African birds not otherwise represented, and which proved most useful in the revisionary work involved in the examination of the present material. To Dr. Alexander Wetmore and Dr. Charles W. Richmond, of the United States National Museum, I am indebted for many favors; to the former for the privilege of studying the splendid series collected by the Frick Expedition, to the latter for the care and trouble he has taken in packing and shipping to Cambridge all the birds listed in the present report, for loans of special material needed for comparative purposes, and for much assistance in reading proofs of this report. No one who has done any extensive systematic work will fail to realize that for its successful completion large collections and extensive specialized library facilities are indispensable.
