In trying to find the location of where different Type specimens (of various birds) are kept today, I have failed on (quite) a few ...
Hopefully anyone "out there" can help me out!?
So let´s start with bergii ...
Does anyone know the location of the type specimen of "Phasianus mongolicus bergii"* ZARUDNY 1914? That is; where the specimen itself is found today?
Does the OD, attached (in Russian), tell us where it was (and possibly still is) located?
