Abstract

Noted environmental statistician Professor Anil Gore, University of Pune, dealt with the problem of estimation of non-identifiable bird species in BNHS Survey. This study was conducted around mid 1970's. In recent time, Dr. Tommy Wright of US Census Bureau posed a similar problem. The speaker had the opportunity to be involved in both the studies in a limited way. He will discuss salient features of the problem and the proposed solutions.
