Bubo bubo jarlandi La Touche, 1921 OD here

Named in honour of the donor, Dr. Jarland, French Colonial Army, late of Mengtsz.

A pair of nestlings were given by Dr. Jarland. The lager bird, a female, unfortunately died on the China coast while being taken to Europe, and was made into a skin by me.

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

Eurasian Eagle Owl ssp. Bubo bubo jarlandi La Touche, 1921 NCR [JS Bubo bubo kiautschensis]
Surgeon-Major Jarland (fl.1921) served with the French Colonial Army in Yunnan, China (1917–1921). He gave La Touche a pair of nestlings of this owl.

The Key to Scientific Names

Surgeon-Maj. Jarland (fl. 1921) French Army in Indochina (syn. Bubo bubo kiautschensis).

So if he was in Mengtsz I would go for China rather than Indochina. He published 1926 La Cécité au Yunnan, Ses causes, sa prophylaxie in Annales de médecine et de pharmacie coloniales. (I assume posthumously if late in 1921?). Or was la Touche wrong?

His name is probably Sébastien Jarland or more detailed Sébastien Joseph Jarland. Found even JARLAND (Sébastien-Joseph-Léonce-Néry).

 

[PScofield]

"Late" I'm this context means "formerly from" or even just "from". Dr S.L. Jarland was in the port hospital in Mengtsz from 1917 until at least 1927 then he was in charge of the French consulate in Mengtsz in 1928.

Died 6 Feb 1959 in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, Charente-Maritime.

He ended his career as a "Médecin-Colonel". (Which I assume to be higher than Surgeon-Major.)
