Edward Charles Stuart Baker

Edward Charles Stuart Baker in 1933

Edward Charles Stuart Baker (born October 4, 1864 in Bardhaman , † April 16, 1944 in Upper Norwood ) was an Indian - British ornithologist , oologist , naturalist and police officer in India.

Live and act

His father Edward Biscay Baker, a deputy inspector general of the police in Bengal, married Margarette Susanna Ussher on November 17, 1858. In 1887 his father published the book Sport in Bengal: and how, when, and where to seek it . Edward Charles Stuart Baker was baptized in Bardhaman on May 23, 1865. In 1886 he married Ethel Mary Roffey with whom he had four daughters. Her daughter Iris Ada Stuart Baker (1899-1997) was a well-known actress.

Baker was educated at Trinity College in Stratford-upon-Avon . In 1883 he emulated his father and joined the Indian police. Here he first spent the first three years in Bengal , but in 1886 he was transferred to Guwahati . From there it went on to Assam . In 1888 he met the ornithologist Ernst Hartert in Calcutta with whom he set off on a collecting trip through the East Indies. Hartert wrote about Baker in his book From the Wandering Years of a Naturalist :

“It was a special coincidence that another ornithologist lived here, my later friend EC Stuart Baker, who is now the most famous explorer and oologist of the mountains of Cachar . I still regret that I did not follow his request to visit him in Cachar. "

Hartert also wrote about a hunting accident in which Baker lost his left arm to a leopard .

“Perhaps less common than the tiger is the leopard. Also in Assam almost never ogre, but shot or otherwise cornered he is extremely dangerous, as my friend Stuart Baker found out from the loss of his left arm. "

In 1891 his first article appeared on the genus of leaf birds ( Chloropsis ). Walter Samuel Millard (1864–1952) took his series The Indian ducks and their allies in The Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society as an opportunity to publish them in a book. Encouraged by his commercial success, the company asked him to write a series on Indian game birds. Baker complied with the request and initially published articles on snipe birds , bustards and grouse, followed by classic game birds such as swans , geese and ducks and finally about railings and wading birds.

In addition to his general interest in the eggs of Indian bird species, Baker studied the eggs and habitat of Indian cuckoos and their hosts in particular . His huge collection of around 6000 cuckoo eggs was partly collected by himself, partly by local collectors and partly by numerous correspondents from British India . He also acquired 25 collections from collectors who also had Indian bird eggs as a collection area. With the clutches, he also acquired numerous seller records. He wrote several articles on the subject, but it was not before his retirement that he was able to study his collection in full detail. In 1942 his book Cuckoo problems was finally published , in which he described his careful observations and described his collection.

In addition to the egg collection, Baker put together a considerable collection of bird follicles. He bequeathed some of the bellows to the Bombay Natural History Society and gave others to Lionel Walter Rothschild , but he sold the majority of his collectibles to the Royal Museum of Sofia . His cuckoo egg collection was bought by the administrators of the Natural History Museum (NHM). This collection came into the museum only after his death. He had previously presented his collection of 49,360 eggs from 1960 different species there.

Baker was fortunate to have served his ministry in distant and unexplored areas of Assam. From 1887 to 1899 he was stationed in different parts of the Cachar district. In 1900 he was transferred to Dibrugarh and two years later went to Shillong, where he became Deputy Inspector General of the Police of the Criminal Investigation Department . He held this position until 1908 before he was promoted to General Inspector of the Police of East Bengal. In 1909 he was transferred from Shillong to Dhaka . He was given special assignments later that year and returned to England after leaving Assam in 1911. Here he was responsible for the port for the London police. This unit was reorganized by Baker and eventually retired in 1925.

When he lived in London, he spent a lot of free time in ornithology. In 1913 he was therefore elected Secretary and Treasurer of the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU). In this function he worked until 1923.

In 1913, he and Colonel Herbert Hastings Harington revised the avifauna of India. While Harington took care of the Timalien , Baker published about silver pheasants and drongos . When in 1920 the management of the NHM was looking for an editor for a revised edition of the bird volumes of The fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma by William Thomas Blanford and Eugene William Oates , it fell to Baker to revise this task. The four original volumes eventually became six. The two new volumes contained synonyms. Before he started work, however, he published several articles in preparation, which later appeared as the book A hand-list of genera and species of birds of the Indian empire .

After his retirement he was a candidate for the Borough of Croydon Borough of Croydon in 1925 and was elected by a large majority. From 1938 to 1939 he was even elected mayor and after this time continued to sit on the local council until 1942. Since he was very committed to youth work and a supporter of the amateur boxers, he also took on the office of president of the local amateur boxing club.

As a hunter, he also published articles about his hunting experiences, which appeared in The Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society , The Field and The Assian . In addition to the already mentioned lost arm by a cheetah near Silchar , he was thrown through the air twice by a gaur and overrun by a rhinoceros.

Memberships, successes and honors

In 1898 he became a member of the Bombay Natural History Society . In 1918 he was elected a Corresponding Fellow and in 1920 an Honorary Fellow of the American Ornithologists' Union . In 1892 he became a member of the BOU. He was also a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London .

Baker was considered an excellent tennis player and won a tournament for disabled players in Dulwich in 1937 . In Assam he won several races with ponies . In 1932 he was named Companion of the Indian Empire . After the Second World War, he was awarded the Companion of the British Empire .

Dedication names

In 1900 Ernst Hartert (1859–1933) named the red-headed parrot ( Psittiparus bakeri ) in honor of his friend, because he met in Calcutta in 1888 . Lionel Walter Rothschild (1868-1937) honored him in 1926 in the Rotkopfyuhina ( Yuhina bakeri ).

It was also found in the cuckoo subspecies ( Cuculus canorus bakeri Hartert, E , 1912), in the Sikkim carmine jay ( Liocichla phoenicea bakeri ( Hartert, E , 1908)), in the cinnamon marsh fowl subspecies ( Zapornia fusca bakeri Hartert, E , 1917), in the swifts ( Tachymarptis melba bakeri ( Hartert, e , 1928)), in the Streifenbrusttimalie subtype ( Napothera epilepidota bakeri ( Harington , 1913)), in the Rothalssäbler ( Pomatorhinus ruficollis bakeri Harington , 1914) in the Indochina Peacock pheasant subspecies ( Polyplectron bicalcaratum bakeri Lowe , 1925) and the black-eared bearded bird subspecies ( Psilopogon duvaucelii stuarti ( Robinson & Kloss , 1919)).

Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee corrected the name Garrulax moniliger bakeri de Schauensee , 1935 after a hint from Herbert Girton Deignan in the bib jay subspecies ( Garrulax monileger stuarti Meyer de Schauensee , 1955), so that both names must be attributed to Baker.

Walter Norman Koelz (1895-1989) honored him in 1939 in Saxicoloides fulicata stuartbakeri , a name now synonymous with the Strauchschmätzer subtype ( Saxicoloides fulicatus erythrurus ( Lesson, RP , 1832)), Jean Théodore Delacour 1943 in Lonchura ferruginosa bakeri , a new name for Munia malacca orientalis Baker, ECS , 1925, a synonym for the Tricoloured Munia ( Lonchura malacca ( Linnaeus , 1766)), John David Digues La Touche 1922 in Pericrocotus speciosus bakeri , a synonym for the Orange Minivet subtype ( Pericrocotus speciosus fraterculus ( Swinhoe , 1870)), Gregory Macalister Mathews 1912 in Thalasseus bergii bakeri , a synonym for the greater crested tern subtype ( Thalasseus bergii velox ( Cretzschmar , 1827)) and Hachisuka Masauji 1926 in Turdinus macrodactylus bakeri , a synonym for the Graubauchtimalie ( Turdinus macrodactylus ( Strickland , 1844)).
