The European Anatidae - An Easy Method of Identifying Swans, Geese and Ducks
This text contains a brilliant guide to the correct identification of swans, ducks, and geese. Complete with a plethora of highly detailed and helpful illustrations, tables, and diagrams, this handbook is perfect for those with an interest in this area of ornithology and makes for a great addition to any collection of such texts. The sections of this book are: 'Measurements', 'Special Characteristics of Anatidae', 'Key to the Plates', 'Swans', 'Geese', 'Surface-Feeding Ducks', and 'Diving-Ducks'. This antique book has been elected for modern republication due to its timeless educational value, and we are proud to republish it here complete with a new introduction to the subject of ornithology.
Catalogue of Helminths of Waterfowl (Anatidae)
This catalogue summarizes the information available on each helminth reported as a parasite of waterfowl ("waterfowl" is used here as a term for the Anatidae only): the names applied to it, its life history, hosts, location in the host, geographical distribution, frequency of record in waterfowl, and importance as a cause of disease. This paper is incomplete in certain respects; no general catalogue can include all the pertinent literature of the world and new information is constantly being added. About 120 papers each year record data and describe about 15 new species of helminths in waterfowl.
A Synopsis on the Anatidæ
Excerpt from A Synopsis on the Anatidae: Or Duck Tribe In preparing the following work, the chief aim of the Author has been not the invention of new species, hut the establishment of old ones, in which he flatters himself he has succeeded. Very few synonyms of the older authors on Ornithology not having been reconciled, the chief part of those that remain (with the exception of Forskall, of whose descriptions we cannot make any thing) may be placed to the score of varieties. The list of synonyms, he is perfectly aware, might have been increased to a much greater extent, but this would have much extended the work, and not, he conceives, have answered any good purpose. Many new species are al...
Annotated Bibliography of Helminths of Waterfowl (Anatidae)
This bibliography is an attempt to list all the publications dealing with helminth of waterfowl (Anatidae) -- reports of their occurrence, descriptions, classification, life history, and pathological effects. It brings up-to-date and revises the work published on microfilm in 1965 (Wildlife Disease, No. 45). Studies on prophylaxis and treatment and on physiology, and general manuals and texts on poultry diseases are omitted. Publications issued before 1890 (numbering about 120) are also omitted as the information in many of these is incomplete and the identification dubious.
