“The author, Arnold R. McGill is one of Australia’s most distinguished amateur ornithologists.  Resident in Sydney, New South Wales, he has written numerous articles on his historical and scientific research on birds, as well as being author, or co-author, of several books.  For many years he has been active in several branches of field-ornithology, particularly with the wading – or shore-birds.  This current book on the Australian warblers will prove of great value to all who are interested in, or puzzled by, a diverse and complex group of small birds.  Mr McGill is a Fellow of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, a Fellow of the Royal Australian Ornithologists Union, was president of the latter organisation in 1958-1959, and honorary Assistant-Editor of The Emu for twenty-two years.”
