This is the correct rendering of the name. It was dedicated by Mr E L Lavard
to his first wife, who was a Miss Calthorp. He told me this himself, remarking that
he had himself inadvertently perpetuated the error, through a misprint in his ‘ Birds
of South Africa,’ where he intended to call a Pipit Anthus calthorpa, but for the
second tune his printer failed him, and it appeared as calthropce!
