sentences:  The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the "Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle" which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text.Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name "Cuculus gigas" in his catalogue of the "Planches Enluminées".The giant coua is now placed in the genus "Coua" that was erected by the Swiss naturalist Heinrich Rudolf Schinz in 1821.
