 Comments
       
  Comment: Per Sherborn (1926) 'Catalogue of the specimens and drawings of Mammalia and Birds of Nepal and Thibet, presented by B. H. Hodgson' has an imprint date of 1846, but the actual date of publication is 09 January, 1847 or later. Sometimes authorship is mistakenly attributed to B. H. Hodgson, instead of J.E. Gray and G.R. Gray
