Attempting to separate myth from reality, this illustrated 1848 monograph by Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811–53) and Alexander Gordon Melville (1819–1901) describes the dodo and other extinct birds from islands in the Indian Ocean. Analysing their osteology in detail, it is considered a seminal work on the topic.
