    Thanks Laurent for the translations and finding the Evenhuis et al paper which proves "publication". Audubon called the iliaca bird the Fox-coloured Sparrow and the red (fox-coloured) part of his drawing was on its flanks, (and tail) so I think Americans looked to the flank idea for iliaca but...

    Thanks Björn. The best part of your post is the link to the Key. We should always start there. I would dearly like to see the original description publication in digitized form. But the Key quotes the description by Hartert who did see it. What more do we need?

    An old thread: Yarrell 1830 [Cygnus bewickii] . The author is supposed to be Yarrell right? If the binders put the volume together right the page 381 comes first. It is an excerpt of a letter to Brown not from and it is in quotes. It gives things about the bird that distinguish it but in...
