Here's a minor addition, alt. a small clarification (or even a tiny, somewhat picky/pernickety, remark) regarding the dedicatee in ...
everetti, and Everett's, as in (for example/s):
• Yellowish Bulbul (Ixos) Hypsipetes everetti TWEEDDALE 1879 (here) as "Criniger Everetti"
• Everett's Scops Owl Otus everetti TWEEDDALE 1879 (here) as "Scops everetti"
• • • • ... as well as in several (many!) other everetti and everettii birds (unchecked by me)
In today's Key explained as [my blue]:
... which I would say are commemorations of the versatile British (alt. 'Norfolkian'!?) naturalist, ornithologist, botanist, volcanologist, speleologist, anthropologist, etc., etc.) and most of all (at least in this context) collector Alfred Hart Everett (1848–1898), also administrator, advisor, etc., etc. (with several different, more or less, official jobs, assignments, commissions, in Government service).
In short: Alfred Everett was born 11 October 1848, on the remote Norfolk Island, in the Pacific, even if he was raised and Educated in England, ... where met the "Rajah of Sarawak" (i.e. Mr Brooke) who was visiting England, ... Everett arrived in Sarawak, Borneo, in September 1869, (to examine Sarawak cave deposits, upon recommendation of Sir Charles Lyell) ... and there Mr Everett stayed, with several addresses of residence ...and he remained on Borneo and in South East Asia ... where he collected a multitude of various Naturalia (mammals, birds, plants, mosses, snakes, frogs, fishes, etc., etc.) on many different locations on Borneo, Philippines, as well as on several minor Islands) ... he retired from Government service in 1890, but he kept on collecting (from 1894 for Lord Rothschild) ... all the way until at least the autumn, and early winter, of 1896 (when Everett visited Sumba Island), ... at the end he left for England (injured and sick), where he died 18 June 1898 – at the age of 49.
Anyone with a different opinion?
