SCHIFFORNIS
(Tityridae; † Brown-winged Schiffornis S. turdina) Prof. Dr Moriz Schiff (1823-1896) German biologist, surgeon in the Baden revolution 1849, pioneer anatomist and endocrinologist, physiologist, Prof. of Comparative Anatomy Univ. of Bern 1854-1863, Prof. of Physiology Istituto di Studii Superiori, Florence 1863-1876, Prof. of Physiology Univ. of Geneva 1876-1896; Gr. ορνις ornis, ορνιθος ornithos bird (see Massornis); "34. SCHIFFORNIS, Bp. — 74. major, Bp. — 75. turdina, Wied. — 76. minor, Schiff." (Bonaparte 1854); "Schiffornis Bonaparte, 1854, Ateneo Italiano, 2 (11), p. 314 (= Consp. Voluc. Anisod., p. 4).
