AKA list

["Bob Moffatt" <>]

There is an earlier document "An Index of Australian Bird Names" produced by 
CSIRO Div of Wildlife Research (Technical paper No. 20, 93 pp) printed in 
1969. This book lists all the common and scientific names for all Aus 
indigenous and introduced birds known at that time along with a statement as 
to the range/distribution and has an index of all the names in the end which 
would be useful in discussions with old-timers or bushies in trying to 
establish the identity of a particular reported species. Each species has 
the (then) accepted common name and all the other known names and the 
scientific name/s.  Plenty of 'obscure names" therein!!
I did a search of a second hand book dealer and found that it was available 
for $15-$20.
Apparently there is an earlier list produced by the Royal Australasian 
Ornithologists Union, 1926., 1926 of 212 pp also available from 2nd hand 
book dealers
