Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Check-List of Birds of the World, Vol. 15: A Continuation of the Work of James L. Peters
The accounts of the 11 families of song birds in this volume were prepared by six authors to whom the editors are deeply indebted for their unselfish contribution to the eventual completion of this work.
The Estrildidae, now no longer considered closely related to the Ploceidae, as well as the Viduinae, will be included in Volume 14.
Preparation and printing of this volume were supported by grant number G-3124 of the National Science Foundation, to which body we give heartfelt thanks.
Manuscript for this volume was completed on December 31, 1960. Only minor modifications were made after this date.
