Sibbald 1684 Species Data

The dataset given here is a list of every identifiable species from this Robert Sibbald's (1684) Scotia Illustrata, divided into domesticated species, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish and invertebrates. The dataset gives (as far as possible) species-level identifications of the fauna Sibbald identified as living in Scotland. The ‘Identified by Linnaeus’ column indicates where the name Sibbald uses for each species was either adopted by Linnaeus, or where Linnaeus lists the name as an accepted alternative – in either of these cases, the identification of species is more secure. I also have a column to indicate whether the name in Sibbald has been previously identified – either in Mullens’ translation, in Adamson’s notes on Sibbald’s History of Fife & Kinross, or in the Dictionary of the Scottish Language (DSL). The criteria for an identification to be labelled as ‘Secure’ are described in the accompanying article - Raye, L. (2018) Robert Sibbald's Scotia Illustrata (1684): A Faunal Baseline for Britain. in: Notes and Records.本数据集为罗伯特·西伯尔德（Robert Sibbald）1684年著作《苏格兰绘图集（Scotia Illustrata）》中收录的全部可识别物种清单，并将物种划分为驯化物种、两栖动物、爬行动物、哺乳动物、鸟类、鱼类与无脊椎动物七大类别。本数据集尽可能对西伯尔德认定为栖息于苏格兰的动物群开展了物种级别鉴定。"Identified by Linnaeus"列标注了西伯尔德为各物种所用的名称被林奈采用，或是林奈将该名称列为公认替代名的情形——上述两种情况下，物种鉴定结果均更可靠。本数据集另设一列，用于标注西伯尔德所用的物种名称是否已在先前的研究中被鉴定过，涵盖马伦斯（Mullens）的译本、亚当森（Adamson）针对西伯尔德《法夫与金罗斯史（History of Fife & Kinross）》的批注，以及《苏格兰语词典（Dictionary of the Scottish Language, DSL）》。被标注为"可靠（Secure）"的鉴定标准已在随附论文中详述：L·雷（L. Raye）于2018年发表于《Notes and Records》的《Robert Sibbald's Scotia Illustrata (1684): A Faunal Baseline for Britain》。
