Description

Drawing depicting: Sturnus sandvicensis -- Sandwich Tern; Charrán de SandwichSandwich Tern. Alternate name on piece: Actochelidon cantiaca [Sandwich tern], Drawing on tissue. This appears to be a draft which was changed extensively for publication (see Gould 1905). The male has its head erect while the female has its head down feeding its young; the female's head position seems to have been derived from Sterna hirundo (Birds of Asia V: 70).
