ANATIDAE

Upland Goose Chloephaga picta leucoptera (J.F. Gmelin, 1789) [ RMNH. AVES.230417]. Loc: Falklands (ca. 51° 41′ 0″ S, 59° 10′ 0″ W). Date: November –De- cember 1822. Col: voyage La Coquille, R.P.

Pedestal label: [two hands] Cat no 1 / leucoptera / Chloëphaga magellanica / (Gmelin) / ♂ / verzameld tijdens / de reis van “La Coquille” / Falkland eilanden [two hands].

Pedestal underside: [one hand] Anser magellanicus ♂ / Ans- er leucopterus / Anas leucoptera Lath / Oie a ailes blanches Buff vol 9 / Brown Ill talo 40 / Cat No 1 / voy La Coquille / Malouines.

Schlegel 1866 (Tome VI, 31: 99–100): Anser magellanicus, Cat 1, ♂ adulte, Malouines, voyage de la Coquille.

Remarks: The collection site on the label (“Falkland eilanden”) differs from that on the underside and Schlegel 1866 (“Malouines”). Several Latin names are cited, those on the label and underside differ; the primary name on the latter however agrees with Schlegel 1866. The notation of “adulte” is present only in Schlegel 1866, and is lacking on the label and underside. Gmelin is noted as the name source on the label, Buffon as the source on the underside. Only Schlegel’s handwriting appears under the base of the pedestal.

Mentioned in the June 1835 exchange list between Paris and Leiden as ‘ Oie des torres Magellanicus ’. The stand is ‘new’ (e.g. it has Temminck’s handwriting) and does not contain any original information / handwriting by Dufresne (the mounted birds from La Coquille now present in MNHN have Dufresne’s handwriting on the pedestal underside). A possible explanation is that it arrived in Leiden as an unmounted skin and was subsequently mounted there.

In June 1835 two specimens where sent from the Paris Museum as part of an exchange; this could be one of those birds. Most likely collected by Lesson / Garnot in Nov–Dec 1822. One specimen of Chloephaga picta is missing from HMS Beagle ( Steinheimer 2004) .

Remarks: The collection site on the label (“Falkland eilanden”) differs from that on the underside “Falkland”) and Schlegel 1866 (“Malouines”). Several Latin names are cited; those on the label and underside differ; the name on the latter however agrees with Schlegel 1866. Phillips is noted as the name source on the label; no name source appears on the underside. Only Schlegel’s handwriting appears under the base of the pedestal.

Army Captain Charles Compton Abbott was stationed at Stanley, East Falklands in 1859–1861 in the Falkland Islands Detachment. He collected many birds and attached printed labels to his specimens. These labels had his full name and that of his regiment printed on one side, on the other side, he noted in pen the year, collecting location and details of the bare parts. These original labels can be found in NHMUK. So, contra the underside and Schlegel 1866, Abbott did not collect while on a “voyage” or “Reis”; moreover, his name is misspelled in Schlegel 1866. This specimen was acquired via Gustav Adolph Frank, the Amsterdam-based merchant who, though he did not collect a single bird himself, exchanged and purchased birds on a large scale with the likes of the Paris Museum and John Gould, both known to possess specimens from the Falklands (in particular those collected by C.C. Abbott). However, Frank is not mentioned as the source of this specimen in Schlegel 1866.

Schlegel 1866 (Tome VI, 31: 101): Anser poliocephala, Cat 2, Adulte, Malouines.

Remarks: The collection site on the label differs from that on the underside and Schlegel 1866. Three generic and two specific names are cited; those on the label and underside differ; the primary binomial on the latter however agrees with Schlegel 1866. The identification as ♂ is absent from Schlegel 1866 and as an adult from the label and underside. The only name source mentioned is Gray on the underside. Only Schlegel’s handwriting appears under the base of the pedestal.

This specimen was acquired through the Amsterdam-based dealer Gustav Adolph Frank (see Kelp Goose RMNH. AVES.230433 above) and arrived on 30 April 1860, as indicated on the underside .
