[irisscientist]

Dear all,

I recently found this and thought I'd share. An excellent (official) free book download (Papilionid Butterflies of the Indian Subcontinent) available from the following link:

www.researchgate.net/publication/272383021_Papilionid_Butterflies_of_the_Indian_Subcontinent

Enjoy!

Nice. Thanks.

You have to become a member of Research Gate and belong to a institution to be able to download this book, which may be a bit of a problem, if like me you do not belong to one.

I think it should be downloadable directly from the link without logging into Researchgate, but you need to open the link in a modern browser, such as Google Chrome. I can't open it with IE8 but can with Chrome.

On the page it says:
"YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF RESEARCHGATE TO DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK. The book contains illustrations of all known Papilionidae of the Indian subcontinent, a list of subspecies and their distribution and a list of the meanings of the names of species included in the book."

PS. I am am member and Researchgate automatically recognises me when I open the webpage, so I would be interested to know if non-members actually cannot access the publication.

You are quite correct Adam, just got the free download. A wonderful book by Peter and many thanks to Mark for the link.

Yep, no problem with Chrome.
