This is the second edition of this work, which, from its first publication in 1961, has become the standard reference on the taxonomy of Indian avifauna. It was the basis for the classic 10-volume "Handbook of the Birds of India and Pakistan" by Salim Ali and S Dillon Ripley, and provides the base for further studies. The "Synopsis" is not merely an up-to-date checklist: it correlates and summarizes all the current advances in our knowledge of the systematics, ecology, and distribution of Indian birds. The sequence of Orders, Families, etc. follows current international practice.
