[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3234602, member: 113430"] [b]A possible meaning of the "unseen" quirundus …?[/b] Here´s a pure speculation … on a fairly obscure name coined by Mathews. [B][I]quirindus [/I][/B] ● in the invalid "[I]Circus assimilis quirindus[/I]" MATHEWS 1915 ([U]Note[/U]: OD still unseen!) Today's [I]HBW Alive Key[/I] explains it as follows:There´s is a small town on the North West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia, by the name of [B][I]Quirindi[/I][/B], but what that town would have in common (if anything) with a harrier from Celebes (Sulawesi) I sure don´t know. Although note that there was a member of the R.A.O.U (Royal Australasian Ornithological Union) a A. P. Kemp, that lived at "Boonanghi", Quirindi in 1918 ([URL="https://archive.org/stream/emu18aust#page/153/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL]), but if he´d anything to do with either Mathews, Iredale or this bird is also unknown. At least by me.
