Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the Bell Magpie's myology, and its implications for understanding the bird's evolutionary relationship with other species. The author, a leading ornithologist, examines the muscular structure of the Bell Magpie and compares it to that of other birds, including the Australian Raven, Gymnorhina, and Cracticus. Through this comparative approach, the book sheds light on the evolution and diversity of passerine birds and their adaptations to different habitats. The author's meticulous research, combined with historical context and discussion of key themes, make this book an invaluable resource for ornithologists, evolutionary biologists, and bird enthusiasts seeking a deeper understanding of the fascinating world of these avian species.

The work was carried out in the laboratories Of the Biology School, University Of Melbourne, under the personal supervision Of acting-professor T. S. Hall, to Whom I am indebted for many valuable suggestions and much helpful advice and direction. I am also indebted to Mr. J. A.
