Atrichia rufescens1867still imageDrawing depicting: Atrichornis rufescens -- Rufous Scrubbird. Alternate name on piece: Atrichia rufescens [Rufescent scrub-bird]Gould, John1804-1881artistartRichter, Henry Constantine1821-1902artistartDrawing 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.ksrl_sc_gould_1981.tifku-gould:18350https://digital.lib.ku.edu/ku-gould/183501981OrnithologyOrnithological illustrationelectronicimage/tiffreformatted digitaldrawingpencilBirds of Australia1184826https://digital.lib.ku.edu/ku-gould/12699Ellis Aves H141University of KansasUniversity of Kansas.
