[QUOTE="lewis20126, post: 1583676, member: 37060"] Richard - thanks for helping Runaround with his definitions! Were not the ancestors of Galapagos finches, Gough Buntings or Hawaiian Honeycreepers vagrants? Should they have been collected under permit? FWIW I'm in favour of collection of a type specimen, subject to conservation considerations. I'm not in favour of collecting vagrants or extra-limitals, large new & ad hoc locale collections (especially in very localised habitats), large type series for inter-institutional dealings, commercial collections and the collection of specimens for frankly bizzare studies. There simply is no need and in many cases it's pretty lazy science. Cheers, alan [/QUOTE]
