Description

Drawing depicting: Unidentified Pteroglossus sp. ?

Note

Drawing on tissue. 2 toucans ca. 14" long (Gould's birds are "the size of life" unless stated otherwise) with a strongly curved bill. Not found in the published editions of the Monograph of the Ramphastidae, or family of toucans. What the purpose of these drawings may have been is unclear; perhaps Gould intended a further revision and extension of the work.
