de Geoffrey A. Manley(Ed. Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K) Isbn : 3540503501

Reptiles and birds have highly diverse hearing organs. Data on a huge amount of information concerning all aspects of structural, neurophysiological and anatomical aspects are reviewed as published up to mid-1988: in addition a good deal of yet unpublished data from the author's laboratory are included.
