● No. 39, from page 231: "[Scolopax] Delamotti. Baill. 431"
[According to Rey (No. 431); a synonym of today's Common snipe Gallinago gallinago]
... which ought to be "Scolopax Lamotti" BAILLON 1833 (or 1834?), here (possibly an attempt to put his name right), named for Monsieur de Lamotte (see foot-note, on the same page). Either way (also) a synonym of Common snipe Gallinago gallinago.
The latter bird has earlier (in 2016) been discussed here on BirdForum, in threads; At least a start on delamotta (here) and in Six contradictory claims in various sources!? (here, posts #21-23).
Also compare with (for example); Vieillot's "Sterna Delamotte" (here).
