Atrichia rufescens1867StillImageDrawing depicting: Atrichornis rufescens -- Rufous Scrubbird. Alternate name on piece: Atrichia rufescens [Rufescent scrub-bird]Gould, John , 1804-1881 (artist)Richter, Henry Constantine , 1821-1902 (artist)Drawing on tissue, torn with loss of tail and lower half of body of upper bird. Composition incomplete, with rough background; lower bird reversed and moved for published plate. See Gould 2012 for the reworking of the lower bird. Notes by Gould, including: "See to the Mantle of the Blue Malurus [Malurus cyaneus] / tails not so hard / More hairy / not so solid". The comment appears to no have relevance to the present drawing: the Malurus and Atrichia are both members of the Oscines suborder, but not to be confused; moreover the bird here has no mantle, nor any hint of blue coloration.ku-gould:18350https://digital.lib.ku.edu/ku-gould/18350Gould 1981OrnithologyOrnithological illustrationelectronicimage/tiffBirds of Australia--https://digital.lib.ku.edu/ku-gould/12699--Ellis Aves H141This work is free of known copyright restrictions.
