A total of 138 entries for the Bullock collection were found in the Cat. Musei Zool. Berol. Aves I and IL Furthermore, 20 of these specimens have localities which were also visited by James Cook, the others being mainly from Senegal and North America. Among the most interesting specimens which could be located in the Berlin collection are three birds pre- sumably collected by Cook, a Prothemadera novae- seelandiae from New Zealand (listed in Bullock's Sale catalogue under II* day, lot 8: Merops Novae Zeelandiae), a Halcyon sancta from New South Wales (listed in the Sale catalogue under 3'"d day, lot 12: as Alcedo sacra) and, last but not least, a Psit- tirostra psittacea from Hawaii (listed in the Sale cat- alogue under 20* day, lot 65: as Parrot-billed Gros- beak). Further important specimens from Bullock's museum are the two (contra one in Stresemann 1953) birds collected by Capt. Dugald Carmichael on Tristan da Cunha in 1816-17 (cf. Bourne 2001): the holotype of Nesospiza acimhae and a Eitdyptes chiysocome (cf Crested Penguin in Carmichael 1819: 497).
