First edition of this milestone work on Hawaiian ornithology describing many previously unknown species. "The text is comprehensive and the illustrations are very fine examples of Frohawk's careful work ... Frohawk manages to have ... clear-cut profiles of his birds" (Jackson). Fine Bird Books, p.157; Jackson Lithography 105; Nissen IVB 1000.

Eight parts in one volume, quarto (320 x 255mm). 64 hand-colored lithographed plates after and by F.W. Frohawk, being 63 fine illustrations of birds and one of eggs; plus three lithographed plates of bird structures after H. Gadow by J. Klinkhardt, one of which is partially hand-colored; three photographic illustrations of birds' nests; and a lithographed map of the Hawaiian Islands by E. Wilson (a very few scattered spots near beginning). Near contemporary green half morocco, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed; original printed wrappers and a "Notice to Subscribers" bound in at end (sunning to morocco, corners just showing).
