EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 119a: Ochotona curzoniae, the Black-lipped Pika, is depicted in this exquisite illustration from the collection of drawings of mammals and birds from Nepal, created between 1818 and 1858 by the renowned British naturalist, Bryan Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894). Hodgson, a pioneering figure in the field of Asian zoology, meticulously documented numerous species during his extensive travels in Nepal and India. This illustration showcases the distinctive features of the Black-lipped Pika, a small mammal belonging to the Lagomorpha order and the Ochotodidae family. The Black-lipped Pika is native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and other parts of Asia. The animal is named for the distinctive black line that outlines its lips, which helps to camouflage it against the rocky terrain of its mountainous habitat. The illustration, executed in fine detail, captures the Black-lipped Pika's compact body, short limbs, and rounded ears. The animal is shown in a naturalistic setting, with rocks and vegetation in the background, adding to the authenticity of the image. The drawing is annotated with the scientific name of the species, Ochotona curzoniae, and the artist's name, B.H. Hodgson. This illustration is a testament to Hodgson's exceptional observational skills and his dedication to documenting the natural world. It provides a valuable record of the Black-lipped Pika, which continues to be an important species of scientific interest in the study of mammals and eutherian evolution.
