SYSTEMATIC LIST OF BIRDS for SABAH,

Jan Vermeulen


This list follows the sequence and scientific nomenclature of James F. Clements (July 1991, Birds of the World. A Check List and Supplement No. 1, 1992).

This specific treatment follows Dr. Charles Sibley and Dr. Burt L. Monroe, Jr (1990, Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World, Yale University Press).

Species in parentheses are the English names in "A Field Guide to the Birds of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and Bali" by John MacKinnon and Karen Phillipps, but only mentioned when these differ significantly from the Clements Check List.

The Dutch names follow the translated "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Birds of the World" (Geļllustreerde Encyclopedie van de Vogels) of Dr. Christopher M. Perrins.

Data are estimates of the minimum numbers seen.
