INDEX TO GOULD'S HUMMINGBIRDS
Index of scientific names:
Gould's names with currently used names
Index of valid names
Index of English names
Gould's magnificent work Hummingbirds (Wellfleet, Secaucus, New Jersey, 1990) does not have an index. As a consequence of numerous changes in nomenclature, finding a given species has become fastidious and time consuming. This situation is being remedied with this page which offers an index of current scientific names, Gould's names with currently used names, and an index of English names. This index is also valid for Gould's multivolume, elephant folio work published between 1849 and 1861, as well as for the supplement by Richard Bowdler Sharpe published in 1881, also included in the 1990 edition.
"The
original volumes are plate numbered from 1-360, in Gould's own hand in the top
left corner of each page, and the numbering then begins again for the
supplementary section, 1-58" (Publisher's note).
Valid names are in bold type, synonyms in ordinary
type. The 418 plates depict 261 species and 10 hybrids represented by the
plates No. 139, 146, 176, 272, 256, 289, 331, 334, supplement 21, supplement
39, supplement 57.
