Abstract
The types of birds brought back from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodgia by Jean
Delacour between 1923 and 1939.
During the period 1923 to 1939, and in the course of seven expeditions establishing
a solid base to our knowledge of the avifauna of what was then French Indochina,
Delacour, alone or with one of his co-workers, described 168 taxa, based on 209 type
specimens. The expeditions’ collections, including the types, were distributed among
five participating museums (MNHN, BM, AMNH, FMNH and MCZ). However,
Delacour did not always make clear the institutions to which the types had gone.
The object of the work reported on here was to establish a single list of all the avian
types with their present location and registry numbers and this is provided arranged
by expedition.
This includes all the taxa described by Delacour, alone or jointly; it does not
include data on specimens selected by other later authors as typical for new
taxa. Of the 168 taxa described anomalies in the data of 65 required careful
comparisons with manuscript collecting records held at Clères * (for some, but
not all, of the expeditions). By this means, and by comparing label data with
published data almost every anomaly has been resolved and the museums
affected have been kept informed. Two important types have not been found.
The male Imperial Pheasant Lophura imperialis Delacour & Jabouille, 1924
and the holotype of Tragopan temminckii tonkinensis Delacour & Jabouille,
1930. Eight types specimens said to be in Paris (MNHN) were found in
Tring (BM) and one in Paris was expected to be in Tring. Six specimens in
Paris marked type do not accord with the published data; in each case the
correct specimens have been found in Tring.
