Unknown to Temminck and without his consent this lady artist had altered the title, thus bestowing on herself the main honour for the work, which she altered in other ways, too. For the text of Vols. II and III, dealing with gallinaceous birds, Temminck had had 160 figures made by Prêtre. It was his intention to publish these together with the text in folio-format as a sequal to his work on pigeons; but on account of the controversy with Mme Knip Temminck decided to issue the work in the present smaller format".
