Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum. Volume XXVI.

A good good hardcover, a touch loose in the binding. Covers Ibises, Spoonbills, Herons, and Storks. Storrs Olson's copy. Thirtteen hand-colored lithographs by J. Keulemans & J. Smit. The complete work published in 27 volumes (1874-1898) provided a detailed description of every bird with synonomy and distribution. Each volume included a section of color plates. 'Unquestionably the most important work on systematic ornithology that has ever been published.' -Zimmer.
