Sabine, Edward (14/10/1788 - 26/06/1883) b. Dublin, Ireland.
Biography Educated at Marlow, Hertfordshire. President of the Royal Society (1861-71). Keen ornithologist. During July 1818 whilst on an Arctic Circle exploration with James Clark Ross they noticed some low rocky islands not far from Cape York and decided to investigate. Among the hundreds of Arctic Terns breeding there were some gulls with forked tails, dark heads and yellow-tipped bills. Several specimens were procured, transferred to a southbound whaler and conveyed to Sabine’s elder brother Joseph, in London. Joseph then displayed the birds at a meeting of the Linnean Society in mid-December whereby the gulls were named in his honour as Sabine’s Gull Larus Sabini, since renamed Xema sabini.

Biography Graduated as Doctor of Physics and Natural Science. He soon developed an interest in zoology and later was entrusted with the care of the Pisa Museum. However, the collection was not outstanding and Savi made it his personal ambition to develop and expand it. So much so that he spent many a day exploring. It was during the autumn of 1821 that he first obtained specimens of an unstreaked, dark, rufous-brown warbler with very light underparts, which he realized was different from all other Sylviidae.
The bird was named in his honour as Savi’s Warbler Locustella luscinioides (Savi).

Biography When he was twenty-four years old he became assistant at the Observatory at Dorpat (Tartu). From where he took part in a number of expeditions into Siberia. During the spring of 1855 Schwarz divided his men into three parties, one of which searched the upper regions of the River Amur. When the information from all of this collecting was published in 1863, it became clear there was a new species of warbler that had been found on 22 September 1856 in the Amur region. Radde named the species in honour of Ludwig Schwarz but it appears that Henry Seebohm was responsible for calling it by its common name Radde’s Warbler, the scientific name honouring the above Phylloscopus schwarzi (Radde).
