Abstract

Many authors have written about the new bird species discovered by members of the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804–1806), but the history of one species in particular –  Oreortyx pictus (mountain quail) – has remained elusive. Primary sources confirm that Lewis returned from the expedition with a specimen (now missing), which he deposited in the Philadelphia Museum. However, for unexplained reasons, the specimen was overlooked by Alexander Wilson and other ornithologists. Here, I review primary sources from the expedition and its aftermath, including novel sources that resolve this long-standing puzzle.
路易斯和克拉克探险队发现的山鹑(Oreortyx pictus)被遗忘的历史,1806 年
许多作者都写过关于刘易斯和克拉克探险队(1804-1806 年)成员发现的新鸟类物种的文章,但其中一个物种--Oreortyx pictus(山鹑)--的历史却一直难以捉摸。原始资料证实,刘易斯探险归来时带回了一个标本(现已失踪),并将其存放在费城博物馆。然而,由于无法解释的原因,亚历山大-威尔逊和其他鸟类学家忽略了这一标本。在此,我回顾了探险及其后的原始资料,包括解决这一长期谜题的新资料。
