Barrot's Fairy Heliothryx barroti Bourcier, 1843 [Alt. Purple-crowned Fairy]
Theodore Adolphe Barrot (1801–1870) was a French diplomat who served in Colombia (1831–1835) and the Philippines (1835–1838). He became a senator (1864) under Napoleon III in the Second Empire. He wrote Unless Unless Haste is Made: A French Sceptic's Account of the Sandwich Islands (1836). He had the distinction that, although not of noble blood, he became a Knight of the Royal Illustrious Order of St Januarius, which was founded in in Naples in the 16th century by the Habsburg King of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

I agree to:

*listed as of/with single ending -i in the Key.

Some more on him in Wikipedia.

Birth record here p. 19/101 (reconstructed)
Death record (Cote V4E 951) here p. 11/31 (8. Arrondisement)

So it might be worth to update the key with barrotii
Apart from that nothing additional to claim from my side. But feel free to add any new informattion.

P. S. Léonore seems to have him only as Adolphe Barrot and born 1803.

 

[mb1848]

"born 1803" Wikipedia has him born October 14 1801 and an 1872 obituary has him born October 15, 1803.
Page 173 Annuaire diplomatique et consulaire de la République française pour ... .
Could this be a French Revolutionary calendar confusion? Martin you mention that the birth record is reconstructed.
Gregorean dates October 14 1801 and October 15 1803 are Vendémiaire 22. Just different years.

 

[l_raty]

His death record says he died on 15 Jun 1870 ('hier', on 16 Jun 1870) while aged 68 years and 8 months. This should in principle place his birth less in the month preceding 15 Nov 1801.

(His Léonore file is unusually light -- only 4 documents, none of which bears his signature, no copy of his birth record...)
