Description

Drawing depicting: Megacrex inepta -- Papuan Flightless Rail [New-guinea flightless rail], Very finished drawing; largely indecipherable note about webbing at foot of sheet. This drawing makes possible an interesting grouping of Gould 0011 (JG's preliminary drawing), this finely drawn version by Hart, and the published plate.
