[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3630052, member: 113430"] [b]William Bullock Senior & Junior[/b] Sorry to re-open this old thread, but I feel I ought to be stubborn on this one! Regarding the recently debated [in the [I]Bird Taxonomy and Nomenclature[/I] Forum, thread [I]Bullock's Oriole[/I], [URL="https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/53108#page/452/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL]]: • [I]Icterus[/I] [I]bullockii[/I]/("[I]bullockorum[/I]")/[I]bullockiorum[/I] ... also see my Post #1 (No. 5 – [B][I]bullockii[/I][/B]) in this thread ... [OD [URL="https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/53108#page/452/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL]] In today's [I]HBW Alive Key[/I] we find: According to Edward P. Alexander and his very thourough paper (it´s 30-pages-long, full of details, fun oddities and curious facts!): William Bullock: Little-Remembered Museologist and Showman, published in the [I]Curator[/I] (Quarterly publication of the American Museum of Natural History), vol. 28 (No. 2): pp. 117-147 (1985): And what about the Son? The last trace of any activity from William Bullock [junior], who, in 1825 until 1826, together the German collector Ferdinand Deppe, was; "... the two first naturalist who ever collected birds in México for scientific purposes.[COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR]" (Stresemann, 1954, [I]The Condor[/I] 56, pp.86-92) ... seems to be from 17 July 1826 when Deppe met him, at the Bullocks's place at "[I]Rincon de Temascaltepec[/I]", in Mexico. After that Bullock junior seems to have simply vanished from the face of Earth!? But I think it´s fair to assume he was still alive in [B][COLOR="Blue"]1840[/COLOR][/B], as he is mentioned in is Father's will (dated, and republished, in May 1840). [B][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Anyone who know of anything additional (or contradictory) on either one of them?[/COLOR][/B] Either way: enjoy! Björn __________________________________________ [COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR]this would mean that Stresemann considered the collections made in Mexico by William Bullock [I]Senior[/I] to have been done mainly for commercial purposes.
