Here´s a hint of a small detour from this Forum, regarding two prehistoric, fossil birds "Woodward's Eagle" Amplibuteo woodwardi MILLER 1911 and "Langrand's Ground-roller" Brachypteracias langrandi GOODMAN 2000 that, for the convenience (they´re the experts, it´s their field), goes on in the Bird Paleontology Sub-Forum: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=275522
For anyone curious; one of the questions is if Woodward in Woodward's Eagle is either:
• the British/Australian ornithologist Bernard Henry Woodward (1846–1912), Curator of Perth Museum, Western Australia – commemorated in White-throated Grasswren Amytornis woodwardi HARTERT 1905, Sandstone Shrike-thrush Colluricincla woodwardi HARTERT 1905 and the subspecie Mirafra javanica woodwardi MILLIGAN 1901
or:
• the fairly unknown Brittish misionaries (in South Africa); the "Woodward Brothers", the two reverends; Robert Blake Woodward (1848–XXXX), and John Deverell Stewart Woodward (1849–XXXX), commemorated in Woodwards’ Batis Batis fratrum SHELLEY 1900.
Or someone else!?
