W. F. Kirby epub The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma: Orthoptera (Acridiidæ) (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma: Orthoptera (Acridiidæ)AT the time of Mr. W. F. Kirby's lamented death the manuscript for the present volume was unfortunately not quite completed. Moreover, there still remained a consider able amount of undetermined material upon which he was then at work and which doubtless comprised a number of species not enumerated in these pages. It was found impossible to arrange for the inclusion of this matter in the manuscript, and it was therefore decided to include only the species already dealt with by Mr. Kirby, merely adding those previously described species which might have been omitted and filling up various lacunae.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
