About The Book: The Avifauna of British India and Its Dependencies by James A. Murray is a comprehensive two-volume work documenting all known bird species in British India and surrounding regions. It provides systematic descriptions, taxonomy, distribution, and habits of each species, combining scientific rigor with detailed observations. The work serves as both a reference for ornithologists and a practical guide for naturalists, reflecting Murray’s extensive field research. It remains a significant contribution to the study of South Asian avifauna in the late 19th century.
