Keys are provided to all genera and species and the book is illustrated with line art and photographs. There are general sections dealing with the zoogeography, biology, habitat preferences, preservation of specimens and collecting. An appendix on potentially endangered species has been included. A separate recording of distinctive calling songs are presented by osillograms that accompany the text and are available (along with species found in Volume 1) on CD-ROM.
