The authorship and type localities of bird taxa (Aves) collected during the John Ross 1818 Expedition to the Baffin Bay, northwestern Atlantic Ocean
Original language description
The 1818 expedition to the Baffin Bay, headed by Captain John Ross, resulted in the description of at least six bird species and four bird genera believed to be new to science. My review of publications relevant to the history of the expedition and to its ornithological outputs resulted in the correction of authorship of several of these names, as follows: The genus Somateria (Anatidae) dates from Leach (in Anonymous 1818), not from Leach (in Ross 1819c). The author of the genera Clangula (Anatidae) andXema (Laridae) is Ross (1819c), not Leach (in Ross 1819c). The species Larus sabini (Laridae) dates from J. Sabine (in Anonymous 1819a), not from J. Sabine (1819). The subspecies of Lagopus mutus (Tetraonidae) from western Greenland should be called Lagopus mutus dispar Ross, 1820c, not Lagopus mutus saturatus Salomonsen, 1950, if recognized. Other corrections consider names which are currently not used as valid.
