EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 34: Turdoides striatus malabaricus, Jungle Babbler (Watercolor by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from 'Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous', 1858) This stunning watercolor illustration, Plate 34, showcases the Jungle Babbler (Turdoides striatus malabaricus), a passerine bird belonging to the family Leiothrichidae. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a curved branch, displaying its distinctive belly, cream-colored underparts, and a fan-like tail. The Jungle Babbler is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, thriving in various forested habitats. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, the talented artist behind this illustration, created this masterpiece during the nineteenth century, around 1858. Cockburn's work, showcased in her publication 'Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous', is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail and lifelike accuracy. The Jungle Babbler is characterized by its short, curved bill, which is evident in this illustration. The bird's upperparts are predominantly brown and grey, with a greyish-brown belly and rufous-brown wings. The bird's plumage is adorned with intricate patterns, adding to its visual appeal. As a sauropsid, the Jungle Babbler is part of the clade of reptile-descended vertebrates, which includes birds and reptiles. The Passeriformes order, to which the Jungle Babbler belongs, is the largest order of birds, with over half of all known bird species. This illustration not only highlights the beauty of the Jungle Babbler but also transports us to the lush jungles of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the region during the nineteenth century.
