Sydney: Australian Museum, 1901-1914. Quarto, four volumes, 25 egg plates. Handsome binder's green half green morocco and cloth; an excellent set.

A. J. North was one of the greatest of all Australian ornithologists. He was appointed Assistant Curator of Birds at the Australian Museum, under E. P. Ramsay, in 1891, a position he held until his death in 1917. His book is one of the great classics of ornithological literature, still useful, and a cornerstone of any collection of Australian natural history.

Whittell p. 552-563.
