From the Introduction : "Indian subcontinent with its tropical and monsoonal climate receives an average annual rainfall of 105cms, which is largest anywhere in the world for a country of a comparable size. This precipitation spread over the country along with melting of glacial snow of the Himalayas resulted in the formation of large perennial Himalayan rivers viz., the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and other peninsular rivers viz., the Godavari, Krishna, Narmada, Tapti, Mahanadi, Cauveri originating from various mountain ranges and the Deccan plateau. These resulted in formation of 14 major rivers and several medium and minor rivers and innumerable streams which opens into the Bay of Bengal on the east coast and into the Arabian Sea on the west coast of India. "The confluence regions of the rivers with the sea forms a complex zone of aquatic ecosystem i.e. estuaries. The area and extent of estuarine region of each river depends on the season, freshwater drainage through the river and geographical nature of the coastal region at that point. Along with the estuaries many large lagoons such as Chilka, Pulicat, Ashtamudi, Vembanad and several vast structures of backwaters on east and west coast of India, created mixed water (brackish water) habitat, spread over in an area of approximately 7000 sq. kms. "The brackish water ecosystem comprising estuaries, lagoons, backwaters and mangrove forests is a complex and 218 pp.…

Mass Market Paperback. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Oddly this has the cover of Lariat Story Magazine from July 1938 and not the correct cover. This appears to have been how it was produced - odd as the magazines had different publishers. Contains 'Bitter Creek Buckaroo' by Bond, 'Empty Saddles' by Grinstead, 'Outlaws of the Chaparral' by Ware, 'Ham Swings a Wide Loop' by Garry, 'Boothill Dare' by Steele, 'Side Meat' by MacDowell, 'Law in his Holster' by Bosworth and 'The Hitching Rail' by Benson. All the stories have illustrations but they are uncredited - three have the signatures Murphy, Sherman and Schomburg however. There is chipping to the edges of the covers. The pages are browned with some spotting in places and some small edge tears and creases to a few pages. Postage charge will be reduced by £1.50 when the order is processed.

Mammalia. III. Aves. IV. Reptilia. V. Amphibia. VI. Fishes. From the preface: "Chandaka-Dampara Wildlife Sanctuary, situated in Khurda and Cuttack districts of Orissa, consists of semi-evergreen forest, dry mixed deciduous forest and bamboo brakes. Elephants form the most important vertebrate of these forests. Chandaka-Dampara Wildlife Sanctuary has an area of 193.39 sq km with a very rich biodiversity, and especially along with its elephant population, was elevated to a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1983. However, due to its proximity (25 km) to the capital city of Bhubaneshwar and the increasing human population, the anthropogenic pressure on the forest has increased considerably during recent years. A stringent conservation measure is needed for the protection of the biodiversity of this Wildlife Sanctuary. "The Zoological Survey of India has so far published the faunal inventory of two conservation areas of Orissa viz. Simlipal Tiger Reserve and Chilka Lake. Studies on the faunal diversity of Chandaka-Dampara Wildlife Sanctuary has been negligible except for Tiwari et al. (1998) on mammals of the Sanctuary. Hence, to conserve the rich faunal diversity of the Sanctuary, an extensive study was undertaken between 1995 and 1998, and the present volume covers a comprehensive account of the vertebrate fauna of the said Sanctuary. This document is therefore, the first ever consolidated account of the vertebrates occurring in the Sanctuary. The present volume includes a systematic account of 37 species of mammals, 167 species of birds, 33 species of reptiles, 13 species of amphibians and 28 species of fishes. Almost all groups are represented by coloured photographs for most of the species recorded in the respective chapters.". …
