Argentine Ornithology, Volume 1 (of 2) A descriptive catalogue of the birds of the Argentine Republic.

"Argentine Ornithology, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Philip Lutley Sclater, with contributions from W. H. Hudson, acts as an exploration into the world of Argentine birds, specifically focusing on the songbird order Passeres during the late 1800s. The book catalogues and describes various species, gives light to their natural behaviors, and presents their habitats, which shows a glimpse into Argentina's diverse birdlife. The first volume begins by saying that Argentina has about 229 species of Passeres and the second volume will explore them further. Sclater deals with scientific classification and Hudson adds his own observations of the birds, while exploring the birds life and distributions of Argentina while emphasizing the uniqueness of the Patagonian Subregion.
