“Apart form annotated checklists of species, this is one of the first books to describe the birds of a restricted region of Australia.  It is intended as a source book for information on the birds of the Bass Strait region but will also be a useful guide for the young or inexperienced ornithologist.
The text is designed to point out gaps in the existing knowledge of the birds that inhabit Bass Strait and to indicate directions for their future study.”
