Notes |
This is one of the water-colour drawings made by Georg Forster during James Cook's second voyage to the Pacific in 1772-1775. The watercolour is listed by Sharpe 1906, p. 185 and by Lysaght 1959 p. 290 as Plate 79. This is the number written on the right-hand side of the watercolour. The NHM lists this watercolour as Plate 77. This picture was used by John Latham when describing the "New-Zealand duck".(Latham, 1785, p. 543). The watercolour of a male bird was painted in 1773 and is the holotype for the species.(Medway 1976 pp. 54-55) The image has been cropped by the uploader. |
