"This rare work stands in the front rank of modern illustrated monographs. It is an exhaustive account of the ducks of the world, with synonymy, description, distribution, and characteristic habits, etc. of each species. The colored illustrations are also very fine, and the great number of distributional maps are quite a feature of the work." (Wood).
