I don't know how to verify the following sentence: "The last bird was seen in 1882, by W. W. Brown, who collected the specimen which now resides at the Field Museum in Chicago." I don't know where to look in Wood's book, if the information is there.
What he actually says (p. 7) is that the species "is said to have occurred formerly in Puerto Rico". I am assuming that you misread this and removing the Puerto Rico part. Please reinstate if I am wrong. --Hans Adler (talk) 08:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I think you're right and I'm crazy. Nobody seems to be explicit about the origin of these pigeon hunters. Both Puerto Rico and Hispaniola seem plausible, so we'll just leave it out. WilyD11:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Apart from that I have verified everything that isn't cited to Day.
