About The Book: The ornithological publication, "Illustrations of Indian Ornithology," showcases fifty depictions of previously unrepresented bird species, predominantly found in South India. The collection is complemented by enhanced figures and variations in plumage states. While three birds hail from the Himalayas and one from Ceylon, the majority inhabit the Indian peninsula. Notable species featured include Nisaetus Bonelli, Leucocirca Albofrontata, Zanclostomus Viridirostris, and Accipiter Besra, offering a comprehensive overview of the diverse avian life in the region. 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.
