A Monograph of the Casuarius

A Monograph of the Genus Casuarius' by Walter Rothschild (2nd Baron Rothschild) and William Plane Pycraft, published in the Transactions of the Royal Zoological Society of London (December 1900), is considered a significant scholarly work. This comprehensive study examines the genus Casuarius, which includes three species of flightless birds, commonly known as cassowaries, found in Australia and New Guinea. The book is illustrated with 18 hand-colored lithographed plates by Keulemans, making it an important contribution to the knowledge of these unique birds.
