And here´s some small possible additions (and a tiny, tiny, minor amendment) on the HBWAlive Key entry for:
● in Short-tailed Lark (Spizocorys) Pseudalaemon fremantlii LORT PHILLIPS 1897 [OD here, Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club., 29th of May 1897 (also published in The Ibis, here), both] as "Caledula fremantli"
No explanation in either one, however see The Ibis 1898, pp: 382-425 (here)
Guy Fremantle was apparently born on 26 May 1867) … married in 1899, ... retired in 1903 and after that he´s gone! **
See links; here, here and here.
Compare with the entries in Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names 2010 (attached) and The Eponym Dictionary of Birds 2014 (here).
However: Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Ethelbert E. Lort Phillips's first Expedition to the Goolis Mountains, Somaliland, was apparently made in 1894-1895. If Mr. Fremantle participated in that one as well I do not know.
**Mr. Fremantle might (!) have spent his retirement in Villa Pamela, Alassio, Italy, but if he truly did is unknown to me.

The bird in question is found on p.400-401 (here), now changed into "Pseudalæmon fremantlii", also on Plate IX (here, and attached)… , and Mr. Guy Fremantle. […] … we anxiously awaited the arrival of the post, hoping that it would bring an extension of leave for Fremantle, who otherwise would have to leave us to rejoin his regiment. The post-bag, however, contained no reprieve, so he started homewards alone, to our great disappointment. [i.e. beginning of March 1897] …
[…] … we were startled one morning by a cheery well-known greeting, and in walked Fremantle, who had got his reprieve after all.
