General
Heteromyias cinereifrons. Alternate name on piece: Heteromyias cinereifrons [Ashy-fronted flycatcher] Well drawn, lightly watercolored rendering (an earlier stage than the many highly finished paintings by Hart elsewhere in the collection); the published plate follows the drawing very closely, changing only the position of an insect and some leaves. At top right in pencil "Heteromyias [Poecilodryas crossed out] cinereifrons (Ramsay) / Dalrymples Gap / near Cardwell / Queensland / NG / Part 10;" at lower right in pencil by Sotheran's, giving Hart's name and the changes made for publication. In order to frame the drawing at some time in the past, the top was folded down; on the reverse are dimensions presumably for framing. Drawing previously cited as GS13 or 13GS and so marked in pencil on reverse. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Hart, William Matthew.
