Schlegel 1863b (Tome VI, 22: 18): Individu des Mers de l’Australie, obtenus en 1863 de Mr Gould.

Remark: The collection site on the label, underside and in Schlegel 1867 differ, and two birds are involved ( Schlegel 1863b: 22). Notable is the lack of catalogue number in Schlegel 1863b. The bird was acquired through the Amsterdam-based dealer Gustav Adolph Frank (see Kelp Goose RMNH. AVES.230433). A specimen is missing from HMS Beagle ( Steinheimer 2004) . Only Schlegel’s handwriting appears under the base of the pedestal.
