Message: <blockquote data-quote="l_raty" data-source="post: 3458226" data-attributes="member: 24811">Actually (having now seen the whole text -- thanks to Björn :t<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />, these are not really "known" birds. He says that these are forms that he also considers separable, and "sulle quali mi riservo di ritornare e alle quali appongo fin d'ora rispetivamente i nomi:" [= on which I reserve the right to return and to which I attach from now respectively the names] "Corvus monedula rava - Sardegna" etc.Thus these are names that he had not introduced yet, but wanted to establish. The names in this list are not available from this work, because there is no description of the birds whatsoever. Some of them presumably received a description in the Altre nuove forme di uccelli italiani. (And if they were then spelled differently, this different spelling is the correct one.)</blockquote>
