Description
English: A plate accompanying the description of the bird "Centropsar mirus" by Philip Lutley Sclater in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London of 1874. Sclater later found that the type specimen was a made-up specimen, a finding he announced to a meeting of the Zoological Society on 1 June the next year. Nature of 10 June reports on this meeting "Mr. Sclater exhibited the typical specimen of his Centropsar mirus (P.Z.S. 1874, p. 175, Pl. xxvi.), and stated that on a more careful examination of it he had come to the conclusion that it was a made-up skin."
