Sterbetz István: Békés megye madártani kutatásának bibliográfiája

Bibliography of ornithological research in the county of Békés ISTVÁN STERBETZ The composition and quantitative relations of the continentally significant avifauna of Hungary are extensively affected by the particular zoogeographical characteristics in the county of Békés. A comprehensive treatment of its fauna is extremely desirable. The literature of the ornithological research work carried out so far in the territory of the county, or affecting the county, is a rich one, but as a consequence of its scattered nature it is difficultly accessible. The collection and publication of these works of reference is aimed at the promotion of the realization of an ornothological monograph on the county of Békés. The form of the citations follows the method now general in the international ornithological specialist literature. With only a very few exceptions, the listed books, specialist articles and popularizing works (which are also of scientific value) can be found in the library of the Ornithological Institute (Budapest, XII., Költő u. 21.). The collection contains publications which appeared up to 31 December 1972. 263
