I do not want to appear pedantic, but wrong spellings are highly contagious.  The name of the co-author is Walter BOLES.

 

A hotspot for Sally Bowles, as watchers of the movie Cabaret will know, was around Berlin, although not seen there these days.  The species Parker-Bowles is pretty much confined to the UK (see Wikipedia for examples of the variable use of the hyphen).  Despite the similarity in name, both those species are unrelated to Christidis&Boles.

 It is imperative that we align COG exactly with Birds Australia on this.  We exchange data with them, so any RAOU number changes should be in complete accordance with what they do. 

 

I will discuss this with Andrew Silcocks database manager at Birds Australia.  BA needs to make a decision and inform the wider membership and affiliated organizations.

 

When a change is then decided by the COG Committee, after consultation with the membership, we can then make the changes required to our existing databases and input programs.

 

By the way, I assume 1101 is the RAOU number for hybrid C-E Rosella?  I haven’t checked yet.

 

Cheers

May I suggest we stay as we are until Tony Lawson has completed his review for the Committee.

Have the new names in C&B been officially endorsed by Birds Aus or BOCA? 

 

Looking at the Birds Australia website (see http://www.birdsaustralia.com.au/about-birds/checklist.html) suggests that there is yet a way to go before COG should make any changes.

Does anyone know whether a list of the new Christides and Bowles names is available on-line? - so that I can get it right when editing Gang-gang articles.

 

Thanks
