[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3180366, member: 113430"] [b]Chlorocharis emiliae SHARPE 1888[/b] In my MS I have only dealt with John Whitehead (1860–1899) himself, not involving his family, but at a glance, as the species No. 1 in the same article ("[I]Cissa jefferyi[/I]") was dedicated (on John Whitehead's request) to Whithehead's father ["[URL="http://www.hbw.com/dictionary/key-to-scientific-names-in-ornithology?name=jefferyi&=Apply"][U]Jeffrey Whitehead[/U][/URL] (d. 1909)"] and that Whitehead himself didn´t knew "[FONT="Book Antiqua"][SIZE="3"]what to call this species, but it is most Finch-like in its ways[/SIZE][/FONT]. …" I think it´s fair to assume that "[I]Emilæ[/I]" is more likely to be linked to the Author of the article [i.e. Richard Bowdler Sharpe (1847–1909)]. So which one of Bowdler Sharpe's relatives, his Wife or daughter was most (or somewhat) "Finch-like"? ;) Richard Bowdler Sharp's Obituaries [URL="http://www.britishbirds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/article_files/V03/V03_N09/V03_N09_P273_288_OB037.pdf"][U]here[/U][/URL] (see p.285), [URL="https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/auk/v027n02/p0124-p0129.pdf"][U]here[/U][/URL] and [URL="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/35508#page/406/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL].
