Some of them later came to the BMNH via the John Gould, Philip Lutley SCLATER (1829-1913), John Henry Gurney (1819-1890) and Osbert Salvin (1835-1898) & Fred- erick Du Cane Godman (1834-1919) collections, whereas others are found today at Washington DC (via Gould), Edinburgh (via Gould), Melbourne (via Gould), Leiden (via Gould, Gustav Adolph Frank (1808-1880)) & Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1770- 1858), Liverpool (via Gould & Henry Baker Tris- tram (1822-1906)), Norwich (via J. H. Gurney), and Manchester and probably Dundee (via exchange BMNH). About 200 specimens have not been located at all so far. I have also been unable to identify 20 bird entries of Darwin's notes, which are generally addressed as „bird", „Lanius", „tlnch", etc. (see also Barlow 1963, Sulloway 1982a,b). Fifteen specimens still bear an original field label by Charles Darwin. The labels are made from a piece of scrap paper tied to the legs or necks of the birds (see fig. 3). The labels contain only an ink/pencil-written number, except for three labels which bear additional information. The numbers refer to Charles Darwin's note books, which list locality, date and a very basic name (mainly a genus name of a similar European equivalent) of each bird specimen, and rarely, addi- tional information on certain characters, behaviour and habitat.
