This publication is based on a modern taxonomic treatment of the whole avifauna, and presents detailed analyses of the distribution of each species, as well as summaries of general patterns of species diversity, endemism, conservation status, and correlations with environmental and geographic features of the country. This work will serve as a model of how the bases for national biological surveys can be built from existing information held in the world's natural history museums, and will illustrate the many and varied potential uses of the information. As one reviewer of this paper stated, 'the value of the kinds of work cited depends on the availability of the (raw) data ... Publication of an atlas is all very well, but hard copy data are only marginally more useful than no data at all'. We heartily agree with this point of view. However, electronic 'publication' of the atlas database is neither feasible nor particularly desirable. Problems with feasibility stem from issues of permission to 'serve' data on specimens from a source that is not at the institution owning the specimens—several curators are rightly concerned about the implications for their institutions' rights to 'ownership' of data. Moreover, serving. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability -
