EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 40: Galloperdix spadicea, or Red Spurfowl, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her collection "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Red Spurfowl, a member of the Phasianidae family and the Galliformes order, is native to South Asia and is characterized by its bald, red head and neck, brown and grey plumage, and distinctively long, spurred legs. The bird's face is shown in sharp detail, with a keen expression and bright, alert eyes. The Red Spurfowl is a ground-dwelling bird and is typically found in open woodlands and grasslands. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on seeds, fruits, and insects during the daytime hours. The illustration captures the bird's anatomy with remarkable accuracy, highlighting its unique features and intricacies. The Red Spurfowl was first described scientifically in 1829 by the English naturalist Thomas C. Jerdon. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing bird species during the 19th century.
