the facing page, printed in red and black, is information

sometimes the name is not given in all languages). Toward
the end are facsimile reproductions of parts of the King’s
notebooks. These recently discovered manuscripts and
original watercolor illustrations supplement two volumes
previously published, in 1903 and 1907, respectively. See
Alberto Girard, “A obra scientifica” in J. Collaço, A.
Palhares, and R. Torralba, eds., S.M. El-Rei
D. Carlos I e a sua obra artistica e
scientifica (1908). While
the scientific text is indeed the work of King Carlos I of
Portugal, it is now known that the watercolors were done by
the distinguished Spanish artist Enrique Casanova
(1850-1913), a native of Saragosa long resident in
Portugal, teacher of D. Luís I, D. Carlos, the Infante D.
Afonso, and D. Amélia, D. Luís Filipe, and D. Manuel II. He
worked in this instance under the orientation of D. Carlos.

Two volumes, with 40 plates, were published by the Imprensa
Nacional in 1903 and 1907. They were reprinted in 1983. An
additional 53 plates were discovered at that time in the
offices of the Imprensa Nacional—these were issued as a
supplement in 1985; all were published together in a single
volume by the Imprensa Nacional in 1998. The editor of the
present volume has designated the volumes published
together by the Imprensa Nacional in 1998 as “Volume I”.
In 2001, additional watercolors were discovered in the
archives of the Aquário Vasco da Gama. In 2003 the Marinha
Portuguesa, Aquario Vasco da Gama, and Lusitania, Companhia
de Seguros, published 110 full page color ornithological
illustrations in a similar format to the present work, with
scientific obserrvations and commentaries written by D.
Carlos to support the illustrations. That volume has been
designated by the present editior as “Volume II”.
