The whereabouts of pre-nineteenth century bird specimens

Abstract

The paper lists the whereabouts of surviving pre-nineteenth century bird collections containing altogether about 1500-3000 specimens. They are found in more than 50 institutions world-wide, with Berlin, Leiden, Paris, Stockholm, Tring and Vienna museums each holding more than 200 bird specimens from this period. The relevance of these collections for taxonomy and nomenclature is briefly discussed.
