These two specimens here look almost identical to these specimens alongside here. Yeah, yeah that' s really clear. Now these specimens were not collected by Meinertzhagen at all. They were actually collected by someone called Richard Badelesha in the 1880s in Middlesex. So a long time before Meinertzhagen. Long time before, in a completely different place. In southern Britain, rather than in France. Wow. So you think that Meinertzhagen was actually taking old samples, old specimens and putting them in his collection and presenting them as his own. Yes, we are confident that this was going on. And these weren' t just any old specimens. They were birds stolen from the museum' s very own collections. Now Robert' s investigation has revealed the full extent of Meinertzhagen' s ornithological trickery. This faked label says that Meinertzhagen found one of only three Grey' s grasshopper birds ever to be recorded in western Europe. In fact, it was from its native Manchuria 5, 000 miles away. |
