Written by the British ornithologist Lt.-Col. H. Delme Radcliffe (1867-1947) of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and Fellow of the Zoological Society. Baluchistan (today: Balochistan), is a historical region of deserts and mountains in stretching from the Iranian plateau's far southeast to the Arabian Sea coastline. Currently it is largely in Pakistan, forming a province with the city of Quetta as its capital. Radcliffe lived in Quetta, and most records are from there. 220 species are recorded, but more where expected to occur. An addendum lists another three species recorded from the area but not seen by the author. Disbound from the Society's Journal, Volumes 23 and 24, with several leaves detached. Unmarked. A good, complete copy.
