Continuously cleaning up my desk, sorting my all-to-many notes and posting whatever might be worth it (however small or large) here on BirdForum, in most cases hopefully adding something to James's Key ... so here´s a possible addition on ...
cognacqi as in:
• the subspecies Arborophila chloropus cognacqi DELACOUR & JABOUILLE 1924 (here) as "Tropicoperdix cognacqi":
Born 2 May 1870, in French Guyana, South America, Son of the Customs officer Étienne Gustave Cognacq (1825–1879) and Joséphine Marie Pauline Désirée Fouré (b.1849), ... and apparently he died at the age of 79 (in 1849?).
Either way; enjoy!
