Description
Scolopax borealis J. R. Forster, 1772
MZUT AV2904; previously mounted; adult female; ‘South America’, no date; from M. É. Moricand, in c.1832.
MZUT AV2951; previously mounted; unsexed immature?; ‘South America’, no date; from Dr R. Olivieri, in 1853.
MZUT AV9848; previously mounted; unsexed adult; Chile, western Patagonia, Jago Bay (Magellan Strait), 5 December 1867; collected during the Magenta voyage.
Remarks.— MZUT AV2951, labelled Numenius minutus, was re-identified as N. borealis by C. Pulcher (pers. comm.). In early December 1867 the Italian warship Magenta crossed the Strait of Magellan into the Atlantic Ocean. Jago Bay is located at c. 52°33’S, 69°55’W (Giglioli 1876). Moïse Étienne Moricand (1779–1854) was a naturalist and museum administrator in the Museum d’histoire naturelle de Genève (Switzerland). We know nothing concerning Dr R. Olivieri.
