Howard and MooreThe Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World

The fourth edition of The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of Birds of the World was published in two volumes. The non-Passerine volume (4072 species), edited by Dickinson and Remsen, was published by Aves Press in 2013; its companion, the Passerine volume (6063 species), edited by Dickinson and Christidis, in 2014. Both had introductory chapters by Joel Cracraft which reviewed the seismic changes in our understanding of avian relationships that studies of DNA were revealing. New here, an e-PDF of both volumes are made available as a continuing resource for ornithologists, together with the contents of their accompanying CDs.
