Desert Lark ssp. Ammomanes deserti annae Meinertzhagen, 1923
Mrs Anne Constance Meinertzhagen née Jackson (1888– 1928) was the second wife of Richard Meinertzhagen (q.v.). She was well known as an ornithologistin her own right and travelled to Denmark (1921), Egypt and Palestine (1923), Madeira (1925) and India (1925–1926), the latter with her husband, collecting and studying the avifauna. She died from a revolver bullet through the head whilst in the company of her husband just three months after the birth of their child. This was described as an accident although there was no inquest, and it has been claimed both that she committed suicide suffering post-natal depression after the birth of her third child, and that her husband shot her, particularly as the path of the bulletmakes suicide very unlikely.
