About The Author: Thomas Caverhill Jerdon (1811–1872) was an English physician, zoologist, and botanist, renowned for his contributions to ornithology in India. Many species, such as Jerdon's baza and Jerdon's leafbird, are named in his honor. Beginning as a medical student, Jerdon joined the East India Company's service in 1835, contributing significantly to Indian natural history. His key work, "The Birds of India" (1862–64), featured over 1008 species. Despite criticisms, Jerdon's impactful legacy extended to reptiles, plants, and the "Fauna of British India" series.
