Item consists of one page featuring three colour illustrations of birds cut out and pasted on leaf. The birds are identified by later handwritten pencil captions. The birds are identified in the captions as: Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus), Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), and Sarus Crane (Megaloris antigone). An additional note indicates that the drawing of the crane corresponds to volume II, page 288 of Forbes's "Oriental Memoirs" (the "Sahras or Demoiselle of Guzerat.")
