[NHCOLL-L:4740] Label H.K.Coale

[BESSON Ludovic]

Dear all,

 

I have some birds with a label from "Collection H. K. Coale - Chicago" . Who is this man, an ornithologist or a merchant? What are his date of birth and dead?

 

For example, I have a specimen "¡á/N¡ã9266 - Parus rufescens neglectus (R)/Loc. Santa Cruz Cal. sept. 4-1896". What is this number 9266 ? Is it seems this specimen was publisched or is it just a field number ?

 

 

 

 

 

What is this hand writing ¡°G. F(?) B.¡±. I have just this information from Sharpe (1906)

 

SHARPE, R. B. (1906) ¨C The History of the collections contained in the Natural History Departments of the British Museum- Birds. 

¡°60 birds from Arizona and other parts of North America, Presented. [87. 1. 24, 1-60.]. An active American naturalist, from whom the Museum received several interesting species. Many of his skins are in the Sclater Collection.¡±

 

 

Thank you for your help

 

Best regards
