[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3298274, member: 113430"] [b]Ok, time to "wrap-it-up" ...[/b] As I mentioned in an earlier post, this thread is a pure side-track of mine, none of the Whitely's are commemorated in any Swedish Common Bird Names (the chief purpose of my presence here on Birdforum), Mr. Henry Whitely (Jr.) is, in my MS, only mentioned briefly, in context, "among others" and I cannot, I just haven´t got time to dig any further than this, sorry. Imagine how hard it would be to write anything if every single name mentioned, in a crowd, even the most peripheral figure, needed a full Genealogy check. ;) I´ll simply trust the years in those different Obituaries (and the [I]HBW Alive Key[/I], of course) regarding the Whitely's (those inconcistent spellings of their Surname was my main worry). Thereby let´s try a quick summation of this thread; in alphabetical and chronological order: [B][I]whiteleyana [/I][/B] ● in the subspecies [I]Sporophila plumbea whiteleyana[/I] SHARPE 1888 as "[I]Spermophila whiteleyana[/I]" = [B]Henry Whitely[/B] [Junior] [B][I]whiteleyi[/I][/B] ● the invalid "[I]C[/I].
