Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography vol 2 page 637: It is stated that the object of the publication is to give, in as concise a form as possible, some account of the birds of Natal, including the newly annexed province of Zululand. There is, perhaps, no better place in the world for birds than this country. There are few birds that excel some of our own in elegance and beauty of plumage." The frontispiece was published in the Ibis, 1897), and was discovered by the authors and named after them.
