I open an extra thread as in here...
... wasn't only Hombron discussed.
As per today HBW Alive:
As in Collection building in ichthyology and herpetology p. 66 Extract here:
I support the year 1798 as birth date. See also here p. 33 of 51 birth 26 Germinal an VI in 6 Arrondissement Paris. I think this time the The Eponym Dictionary of Birds here is correct.
Link Hombron, Jacques Bernard (1800-1852)?
