Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taphrospilus" data-source="post: 4027030" data-attributes="member: 121912">I contacted Universitätsbibliothek Erlangen-Nürnberg and they confirmed it is an other edition of Der Conservator....As well attached Urkunde SU 22/1895 aus P Rep. 201 Nr. 95 (some more information than the one of Paul) and some excerpts of Kleine Beiträge zur reinen und angewandten Naturgeschichte I got from Freie Universitaet Berlin Universitaetsbibliothek (at least we know in 1866 he lived in the Krauts-Strasse 1) as attachement. The death record gives Osterholz (Hohenberg-Krusemark) as birth place but it is very close to Polkau u Polkritz. And in fact he died 7. April 1895 and it was reported on 8. April.As his late wife was mentioned we can be sure it is him even if his middle name isn't mentioned.But now I am a little bit confused about the authorship. Will be Theodor von Heuglin or Gustav Hartlaub be considered as author of the name? I ask as the title of the article is Beiträge zur der Ornithologie von Th. v. Heugelin while at the end of the article we Dr. G. Hartlaub.As well I ask myself (if Avibase is correct) why Apus affinis galilejensis (Antinori, 1855) and not Apus affinis abessynicus (Streubel, 1848)? abessynicus pre-occupied by?Take it for what's worth.</blockquote>
