Roorkee: Department of Agriculture and Commerce, 1882. [Published 1882 - 1883]. Two volumes, quarto, illustrated with 69 fine botanical line drawn plates by the artist H. Hormusji (numbered 1 - 64 + 5 bis plates) including 7 double-page plates, pp 87; 63, duplicates from Museum of Science and Art Edinburgh, with their small stamp on the title pages (and also the stamp of the Cleghorn Memorial Library) and the front endpaper, and neat stamps on the verso of the plates, otherwise clean internally, original cloth-backed boards a little worn, [the spines do not match but they are original]. RARE. A third volume was published later, but this seems even more elusive. [The plates are impressive, drawn by H. Hormusji, a Parsee artist who apparently trained at Bombay School of Art.]. First Edition. Cloth-backed boards. Good. Illus. by H. Hormusji.

There are the winter migrants - the wildfowl of the wet places, the delicate fieldfares and redwings - who come to Britain to escape the bitter temperatures of their native lands.
