[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3489570, member: 113430"] [b]Archey Demery's (African Yellow) White-eye[/b] "Solifuge" alt. "'M", I don´t know if you´re still looking, but here´s another local African collector that I happened to stumble upon while checking some bird's collected/described by the Swizz zoologist and collector Büttikofer [Johann Büttikofer (1850–1927)] ... this time we´re talking about ... [B][I]demeryi[/I][/B] as in: • the subspecies [I]Zosterops senegalensis demeryi [/I]BÜTTIKOFER 1890 ([URL="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/37354#page/214/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL]) as "[I]Zosterops demeryi[/I]": = the local Liberian naturalist, collector and guide [B]Archey Demery [/B](who died in early autumn, [B]1891[/B]), whose full name was [B]Archey Thomas Demery[/B], Son of Jackson Demery (friend and companion of Büttikofer), a friendship and companionship inherited by the Son, also "an energetic naturalist" ([I]The Ibis[/I] 1893), collector in Liberia and Sierra Leone ... etc. etc..
