Talk:Gerald Edwin Hamilton Barrett-Hamilton

To check

The period: In his work as a natural historian, he described a great number of new species of small mammal on the islands around the British Isles, notably the house mice and field mice of St. Kilda which he called Mus muralis and Mus hirtensis,[6] believing that these had evolved in situ having colonised the islands naturally via land or ice-bridges. Although this has been demonstrated to be wrong, [...] in my opinion has to be checked, because in the original description [1] of the two taxa Barrett-Hamilton states that only Mus hirtensis had colonised naturally the island. Unfortunatelly, I currently cannot access [6] - Barrett-Hamilton, G.E.H. (1906). "'On a collection of mice (Mus hirtensis and M. muralis) from St Kilda'". Annals of Scottish Natural History 57: 1–4, so I cannot see what it claims in 1906; for sure he did not meant that in 1898. --109.41.127.194 (talk) 23:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
