Literature
"Contributions on subjects connected with every branch of Australasian ornithology have been made to this important journal, and it is still vigorously and effectively 'in progress'. Descriptions of new species, often illustrated by coloured plates, are regularly published by members, domestic and foreign, of the R.A.O.U. of which the Emu is the accredited organ. The names of most ornithologists interested in Australian and New Zealand bird protection and culture (who lived and worked during the past three decades) will be found at the head of original articles. There are also valuable reviews of papers from other ornithological journals touching antipodean avifauna." (Wood)
