    Abstract
    The authors of this mono graph set out to fulfill six objectives: (1) to present a history of the study of the genus Tachyeres, (2) to provide generic and specific synonymies and species accounts, (3) to summarize the current understanding of molts and plumages in the genus, (4) to present diagnostic characters and identification keys for the species in the genus, (5) to summarize information on field identification and aviculture of steamer-ducks, and (6) to present a bibliography of relevant literature. They have amply succeeded in these objectives, but I believe that they have accomplished something more significant still.
