	A Letter from T. M. Brewer to Osbert Salvin
		Sclater, to whom the original was shown, agrees that it was not addressed to his father but to Salvin.
		It must not be forgotten that despite Brewer's immersion in the practice of medicine and his subsequent political, editorial, commercial, and book-pub- lishing activities, ornithology, and in particular oSlogy, always occupied a prominent place in his life work.
		Audubon, Nuttall, Cones, the elder Sclater, Salvin, and many another 'Father' of American ornithology were among his intimate friends and con- temporaries.

	The Naturalist in Nicaragua by Thomas Belt eBook by BookRags
		Osbert Salvin, published in the “Ibis” for July 1872 a list of seventy-three species that I had up to that time sent to England.
		Salvin’s opinion, to indicate, with tolerable accuracy, to which of the two sub-provinces of the Central American fauna the forest region of Chontales belongs.
		The birds I sent to England proved nearly conclusively that the Costa-Rican sub-province included Chontales in Nicaragua, and that the boundary between it and the sub-province of Southern Mexico and Guatemala must be sought for more to the north-west.

	Ornithology Collections in the Libraries at Cornell University: A Descriptive Guide
		Sclater used his personal collection of skins of American birds to prepare his Exotic ornithology, containing figures and descriptions of new or rare species of American birds.
		Issued in fifteen parts from 1866 to 1869, Exotic ornithology contained an excellent scholarly text by Sclater and Osbert Salvin [1835-1898] with one hundred hand-colored lithographs of neotropical birds by Joseph Smit [1836-1929].
		Osbert Salvin, who aided Sclater in writing Exotic ornithology, edited with Frederick Du Cane Godman [1834-1919] a series of works on the fauna and flora of Mexico and Central America entitled Biologia centrali-americana.

		He makes no nest, but rears his young in a hole in the sand, generally on the side of a hill.
		Osbert Salvin tells this curious anecdote: "Some years ago the Zoological Society possessed a specimen which lived in one of the large cages of the parrot house by itself.
		I have a very distinct recollection of the bird, for I used every time I saw it to cheer it up a bit by whistling such of its notes as I had picked up in the forests of America.

		During his school days at Cambridge Godman befriended Osbert Salvin and Alfred and Edward Newton, all ornithologists, and it wasn't long before his interests turned to ornithology and entomology.
		In 1861 he joined Salvin for a natural history expedition to Central America; this laid the groundwork for the first section of his and Salvin's magnum opus, the Biologia Centrali-Americana, published in five volumes between 1879 and 1888.
		Godman continued as editor of the series even after Salvin died in 1898, with the set eventually extending to sixty-three volumes.

	Birding in Costa Rica
		Its beauty was so fabled and the bird so elusive and shy that early European naturalists believed the quetzal was a fabrication of Central American natives.
		In 1861, an English naturalist, Osbert Salvin, wrote that he was "determined, rain or no rain, to be off to the mountain forests in search of quetzals, to see and shoot the elusive quetzal, which has been a daydream for me ever since I set foot in Central America."
		Salvin, the first European to record observing a quetzal, pronounced it "unequaled for splendor among the birds of the New World," and promptly shot it.

	Salon Wanderlust \| Seduced and sated in Costa Rica, page 2
		Even that far back in time, Mario says, some folks mourned the disappearance of Costa Rica's primitive habitats, but they were powerless to stop it.
		In 1861, a British naturalist named Osbert Salvin, enchanted by tales of iridescently plumed quetzals, determined to resolve whether those green-and-red birds were flesh or folklore.
		When he finally found one, he immediately shot it, hauled it back to Europe and created a fashion craze for quetzal feathers that helped decimate the bird's population in Central America.

		Local university professors and international taxonomists would insure accuracy and name new species according to international rules.
		To aid their efforts in gathering samples of life in Central America, Salvin and Godman hired local collectors whom they trained, as well as international "expert collectors," who sorted, identified and named new species.
		Godman made special reference in the introduction to the sixty-three volume Biologia Centrali-Americana to Mateo Trujillo (a parataxonomist before the name was coined) who assisted him as a "very skillful collector" the greater part of the time Godman was in Mexico.

	Birds of Costa Rica
		In 1861, English naturalist Osbert Salvin, the first European to record observing a quetzal, pronounced it "unequaled for splendour among the birds of the New World," and promptly shot it.
		Salvin redeemed himself by writing the awesome 40-volume tome Biología Centrali Americana, which provided virtually a complete catalog of neotropical species.
		The quetzal's territory spans a radius of approximately 300 meters, which the male proclaims each dawn through midmorning and again at dusk with a telltale melodious whistle--a hollow, high-pitched call of two notes, one ascending steeply, the other descending--repeated every 8-10 minutes.

		But they should be on in the next few weeks.
