Thanks Laurent, :t: ... it was as I assumed (just wanted to be sure/safe).
Also (maybe) noteworthy (if nothing else, simply to put things right); is the (UK) Obituary in
The Ibis XXXII (July, 1806,
here), in which we're told:
JEAN LOUIS CABANIS, an Honorary Member of the Union, ... [ending with the phrase:] ... . Cabanis died after a short illness at his own residence, on the 20th of February last, at the age of ninety years and eleven months.
This Obituary (where his third Given name, "Bennoit", wasn't mentioned at all) was apparently based on information "
sent to us by Herr Herman Schalow" [
i.e. the one who wrote the Obituary/Memorial speech/
Gedächtnisrede of Jean Cabanis in
Journal für Ornithologie, where he was mentioned as "Jean Louis Cabanis" (only) in text, with the claim that he'd died: "
... am 21. Februar"]?!? Something, clearly must have made Philip Lutley Sclater to change Schalow's "
am 21 Februar" into "the 20th of February". But note that Sclater (for some unknown reason!?) wrote the Birth year of Cabanis as "1815"(!) contrary to Schalow's "1816" [the latter all in line with what's told in (
Neue)
Deutsche Biographie, German
Wiki, etc., etc.]... !? Which, of course, caused Sclater's (apparently erroneous) conclusion above, regarding the final age of Cabanis.
Also see the (US) Obituary notice, in
The Auk, vol. XXIII (No.2, April 1906), in "Notes and News", probably written be either the Editor J. A. Allen, or F. A. Chapman. (
here). Cabanis was/is also listed on p. xxxi, in the List of "Deceased Members" (
here), as:
CABANIS, JEAN .................................... Feb. 20, 1906.
This far, I will use the latter Death date (either; ... at the age of 89, alt. in his 90th year, or; just about two weeks short of his 90th Birthday).
Serenity rules! Or?
