General

Chlamydera guttata guttata -- Western Bowerbird. Alternate name on piece: Chlamydera. Occipitalis [Large-frilled bower-bird] The drawing shows a rather generic Chlamydera, but is a pose very like the published one, and the feathers and pose are appropriate. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Hart, William Matthew. There is some red crayon marking of what is thought of as Gould's late period--the drawing may have been done at an earlier time.
