| Summary | "Argentine Ornithology, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Philip Lutley Sclater and W. H. Hudson is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a descriptive catalogue detailing the birds of the Argentine Republic, particularly focusing on the Passeres order, which includes a diverse range of songbirds. The book not only lists the species but also provides insights into their behaviors and habitats, showcasing the rich avifauna of the region. At the start of the volume, the authors introduce the scope of their study, noting there are approximately 229 species of Passeres in Argentina, with promises of further exploration in the subsequent volume. The preface outlines the contributions made by both authors: Sclater handling the scientific classification and Hudson presenting personal observations on the birds. The introduction discusses the geographical distribution of Argentina's bird life, emphasizing the significance of the Patagonian Subregion in relation to the overall Neotropical avifauna and how specific families are prevalent or scarce within Argentina's ecosystem.
