Gallus gallus gallus

This catalog page lists specimens of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus), the wild ancestor of the domestic chicken. The handwritten entries document individual birds with measurements and anatomical notes—a systematic record typical of natural history collecting in the early twentieth century. Such catalogs reveal how museums built their collections through acquisition and careful classification. The practice of cataloging specimens by scientific name, location, and physical characteristics was central to establishing museum authority and advancing zoological knowledge.
