Woodward's Eagle & Langrand's Ground-roller … (1 Viewer)

Here´s a little detour from the Etymology Sub-Forum …

There are two prehistoric (fossil) Birds birds with the names:
● Woodward's Eagle Amplibuteo woodwardi MILLER 1911
● Langrand's Ground-roller Brachypteracias langrandi GOODMAN 2000

As I understand it they, the Eagle respectively the Ground-roller, was described in:
● Miller, L. H. 1911. A series of eagle tarsi from the Pleistocene of Rancho La Brea. University of California publications. Bulletin of the Department of Geology 6: 305-316.
● Goodman, S. M. 2000. A description of a new species of Brachypteracias (Family Brachypteraciidae) from the Holocene of Madagascar. Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology 71 (1 & 2): 318–322.

Any of you ornipaleontologists's have access to either of those two articles?

Or know anything regarding the persons commemorated in those names?


PS. PS. Also see (or compare with) the Etymology Sub-Forum thread: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?p=2917375#post2917375

Amplibuteo woodwardi (Miller, 1911). was described as Morphnus woodwardi.
This forrn is given its specific name in honor of Dr. A. Smith-Woodward of the British Museum of Natural History.

Brachypteracias langrandi Goodman 2000.
This new subfossil species is named in honor of Olivier Langrand, friend and colleague, who has made a major contribution over the past decade to Malagasy ornithology and the advancement of conservation programs to safeguard the island's unique biota.
