摘要
摘要。亚历山大·威尔逊(1766-1813)根据他在宾夕法尼亚州费城附近收集的一个标本描述了“板岩色鹰/Falco atricapillo”(=Accipiter gentilis atricapillu),并将其存放在费城(皮尔)博物馆供后人收藏。威尔逊对该标本的插图被雕刻,并在《美国鸟类学》第6卷(1812b,第52页)上发表了手绘版画,以配合他对该物种的科学描述。然而,在1846年皮尔博物馆关闭,其藏品被出售和分散后,威尔逊模式标本的路径变得难以追踪。直到2020年11月,我在德雷塞尔大学自然科学院(ANSP)的藏品中重新发现了威尔逊的a.atricapillus正模标本,这要归功于已故ANSP鸟类馆长鲁道夫·迈耶·德·沙恩西(Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee)的铅笔笔记。这项研究也为皮尔博物馆鸟类收藏的历史提供了新的线索,暴露了对威尔逊引用的“皮尔数字”的基本误解,这对美国鸟类学史有着广泛的意义。简而言之,“豌豆数量”被分配给了保存在豌豆博物馆的物种(而不是标本)。
Rediscovery of the holotype of the American Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis atricapillus (Wilson, 1812), and a commentary about Alexander Wilson's contributions to the Peale Museum
ABSTRACT. Alexander Wilson (1766–1813) based his description of the “Slate-colored Hawk / Falco atricapillus” (=Accipiter gentilis atricapillus) on a single specimen collected near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which he deposited for posterity in the Philadelphia (Peale) Museum. Wilson's illustration of the specimen was engraved and hand-colored prints were published in American Ornithology vol. 6 (1812b, Pl. 52) to accompany his scientific description of the species. However, the path of Wilson's type specimens became difficult to trace after the Peale Museum closed in 1846 and its collections were sold and dispersed. Wilson's holotype of F. atricapillus was presumed lost or destroyed until November 2020, when I rediscovered it in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (ANSP), thanks to a penciled note made by the late Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee, former ANSP curator of birds. This research also sheds new light on the history of the Peale Museum bird collection, exposing a basic misunderstanding about the “Peale numbers” cited by Wilson, which has broad implications for the history of American ornithology. In short, “Peale numbers” were assigned to species (not specimens) held in the Peale Museum.
