Fwd: Christidis & Boles Checklist

["Canberra Ornithologists Group Inc." <>]

I do not normally pass on the advertising emails the cogoffice receives
from Andrew Isles Books (or any other commercial messages), but I know a
number of people are keen to purchase this title, so will be interested to
know that the new Christidis and Boles is now available.

Hello from Andrew Isles Natural History Books. 

At
last! We have just taken delivery of our stock of "Systematics and
taxonomy 
of Australian birds" by Les Christidis and Walter
Boles. This important book 
lists all those species of birds that
have been recorded from the Australian 
mainland, Tasmania, island
territories and surrounding waters. If you have 
already placed an
order or request for this book, we are working on these now 
and
thank you for your patience. 


[26493] Christidis, Les and
Walter E. Boles. Systematics and taxonomy of 
Australian birds.
Collingwood: 2008. Large octavo, laminated boards, 277 pp. 
AU$60.00
Lists all those species of birds that have been recorded from the
Australian 
mainland, Tasmania, island territories and surrounding
waters. Based on the 
authors’ original book "The taxonomy
and species of birds of Australia and its 
territories"it
includes any new species for which records have been 
accepted by the
Records Appraisal Committee of Birds Australia. It also includes 
all
extant and recently extinct (post-1800) native species, as well as new 
species, accepted vagrants and introduced species that have become
established 
and continue to survive in the wild. 

The
book provides brief explanations for taxonomic changes in the literature
and for those adopted within it, including the citations for such
work. Its 
geographical coverage includes Christmas Island,
Cocos-Keeling Islands, Heard 
Island, Lord Howe Island, Macquarie
Island, Norfolk Island and the islands of 
Torres Strait, and also
Ashmore Reef, owing to the number of vagrant species 
that have
recently been reported from there. Also included are vagrants from the 
Australian Antarctic Territory that have not been recorded elsewhere in
Australia or its territories.
