I should have added that Bright Sparks has NO entry for
Hardwick(e)

I should have wrote Charles Hardwick was born Lincoln,
England, 2/8/1878, NOT 1978
My transcription error.

I have been
sent an OCRd copy from the THE CYCLOPEDIA OF TASMANIA. 1900
for CHARLES
BROWNE HARDWICKE a naval man 2/8/1978 - 1880 but no mention of
Ornithology

Murray Lord also referred to John Penhallurick's
database
www.worldbirdinfo.net Wow ! My
first serious look at it. Lots of good stuff, but no help in this
example.
However a G.R.(not J.E.) Gray, is also also quoted

I am slowly putting together an ID table for the Swinhoe's and
Latham's Snipes
But a spelling query has prompted the following
trail.
Hanzab
Latham's Snipe Gallinago hardwickii
J. E. Gray,
1931, Zool Misc: Misc 16 - Tasmania
The specific epithet is in honour of
Charles Hardwick of Tasmania, who discovered the
bird.
