Description: Illustration of Arborophila mandelli in Stray Feathers 1875 - Hume remarks on its quality - "The accompanying-map, I fear I ought to call it, of Arborophila mandellii, though terribly out of drawing according to my notion, sufficiently correctly represents the distribution and colours of the markings, and will enable every one, I hope, to recognize the bird (when met with) at a glance. I say when met with, advisedly; Captain Cuttles' standing recommendation to make a note of, when found, would be excessively appropriate in the present case. ". Date: 1875. Source:
