MZUT AV9848 View Materials ; previously mounted; unsexed adult; Chile, western Patagonia , Jago Bay (Magellan Strait), 5 December 1867; collected during the Magenta voyage .

Remarks.— MZUT AV2951, labelled Numenius minutus , was re-identified as N. borealis by C. Pulcher (pers. comm.). In early December 1867 the Italian warship Magenta crossed the Strait of Magellan into the Atlantic Ocean. Jago Bay is located at c. 52°33’S, 69°55’W ( Giglioli 1876). Moïse Étienne Moricand (1779–1854) was a naturalist and museum administrator in the Museum d’histoire naturelle de Genève ( Switzerland). We know nothing concerning Dr R. Olivieri.
