Excerpt from The Avifauna of the Galapagos Islands
My study reached a point where it became apparent that a satis factory end could not be attained without examining more of the material of former writers, notably the birds collected by Darwin that served Gould as the basis for the first published descriptions of Galapagos Species. Perhaps four-fifths of the types of birds described from the Galapagos are contained in the British Museum, in the Rothschild Museum at Tring, England, and in the United States National Museum, mostly in the first two institutions. In the spring of 1930 it proved possible for me to make the necessary trip, and I visited the British Museum and the Rothschild Museum in the interval between April 27 and June 13, and the United States National Museum on my way home the latter part of June, having abundant Opportunity to examine all of the Galapagos material in those several institutions.
