EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil sketch by George Forster, titled "Odax pullus, or Greenbone," is a remarkable illustration of a fish species discovered during Captain James Cook's second voyage to explore the southern continent between 1772 and 1775. Forster, a naturalist on the expedition, meticulously documented the diverse flora and fauna encountered during their travels. The Odax pullus, also known as the Greenbone or Butterfish, is a small bony fish belonging to the family Odacidae, order Perciformes, and class Osteichthyes. This fish is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is characterized by its elongated, slender body, vibrant green coloration, and distinctive elongated dorsal fin. Forster's illustration, created in the 18th century, is a testament to the spirit of adventure and discovery that defined Cook's voyages. The intricate details of the fish's anatomy and the naturalistic rendering of its environment demonstrate Forster's expertise and dedication to documenting the natural world. This illustration is a valuable historical record of the Odax pullus and the broader biodiversity of the regions explored by Cook and Forster. It is a reminder of the importance of scientific exploration and the role it plays in expanding our understanding of the natural world. Johann George Adam Forster, the son of the naturalist Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, was a prolific naturalist, writer, and illustrator. His work on Cook's voyages was groundbreaking and contributed significantly to the scientific knowledge of the time. This pencil sketch of the Odax pullus is just one example of the many valuable records he left behind.
