ReadMe for the Draft India Checklist Praveen J., Rajah Jayapal & Aasheesh Pittie 1. This is a DRAFT checklist of birds of India (hereinafter India Checklist), which aims to bring out an authentic list of bird species that have been reliably recorded, till date, from within the political boundaries of the Republic of India. Records of all the bird species comprising the status, ‘rarity’, ‘hypothetical’, or ‘possible’, from India in the past have been comprehensively and critically reviewed and vetted for the India Checklist. 2. We follow the species sequence, and taxonomy, of Howard & Moore 4th edition (hereinafter H&M4) [‘The Howard & Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World’ 4th edition, in two volumes, first on non-passerines authored by Dickinson & Remsen (2013), and the second on passerines by Dickinson & Christidis (2014)]. H&M4 is widely regarded as an authentic reference work on current bird taxonomy, and its board of editors, and advisors, has some of the leading ornithologists and avian systematists of the world. 3. Note that the bird list is given in the taxonomic sequence as above, with names of avian Orders in Roman numerals and those of bird Families in Arabic numerals. 4. For nomenclature, we have carefully chosen English names that are familiar to Indian birders yet consistent with global standards of world birdlists. For style of English names (pertaining to the use of hyphenation, capitals, and other topological matters), we follow an H&M4 template. 5. A detailed paper with background, rationale, methodology, principles, and future plans will be published along with the final India Checklist. 6. Alternate names, wherever necessary, have also been provided for most bird species for the purpose of cross-referencing. Alternate names in square brackets are taxonomy-dependent and users are requested to look up the respective annotations for further details. Kindly note that we have provided only names that are in widespread use in regional literature, and other popular world lists, as Alternate Names. As such, this is NOT a comprehensive compendium of all the available English names of birds. Also, we endorse only the primary English names given in the India Checklist, and we strongly encourage users to adopt these PRIMARY NAMES in all the communications so that we can bring about standardization in Indian ornithology. 7. Do note that this is only a DRAFT India Checklist being shared for the purpose of drawing comments, suggestions, and corrections from users. As such, please do NOT use this list in any form. We will upload the final and revised India Checklist along with the publication of the list in the forthcoming issue ofIndian BIRDS journal. 8. We plan to bring out regular updates to the India Checklist (to be available as open-access document on the IB website), which would reflect changes in bird taxonomy worldwide and incorporate new additions to the Indian avifauna. 9. We are very thankful to a large team of both national and international birders, ornithologists, and avian systematists (incl. from the H&M4 board) who carefully reviewed, and commented on, the India Checklist. A full list of our reviewers and supporters will be presented in the acknowledgements of the paper. 10. We would very much appreciate if you could critically go through this Draft India Checklist and provide your feedback to [[email protected]]. We may not be able to personally reply to each comment, but we assure you that we will take cognizance of all the comments and suggestions before finalizing the India Checklist. We thank you very much for your professional support. Abbreviations, used in the India Checklist BLI: BirdLife International. 2015. The BirdLife checklist of the birds of the world: Version 8.
