Some minor comments

[edit]
  • I don't know how to verify the following sentence: "The last bird was seen in 1882, by W. W. Brown, who collected the specimen which now resides at the Field Museum in Chicago." I don't know where to look in Wood's book, if the information is there.
OK, I marked the first sentence as coming from Naturalis. --Hans Adler (talk) 08:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is it obvious that the pigeon hunters must have been from Puerto Rico? It doesn't seem to be in the sources.
  • What he actually says (p. 7) is that the species "is said to have occurred formerly in Puerto Rico". I am assuming that you misread this and removing the Puerto Rico part. Please reinstate if I am wrong. --Hans Adler (talk) 08:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apart from that I have verified everything that isn't cited to Day.
