In The Birds of Uruguay all species of birds regularly found in Uruguay (>440) are described, and their approximate size given in inches and tenths of inches.

The range of each species is indicated, often in much detail. In addition to the birds‘ geographical ranges, the altitudinal zones which they inhabit are given. The zones and their limits are:
