The article about the rediscovery of gorillas in the 1840s mentioned Samuel Stutchbury and Richard Owen (1 October, p 46). But Samuel Stutchbury’s surname was misspelled three times in the article as “Stutchbery”.
Samuel Stutchbury was a remarkable naturalist whose many achievements included collecting (in 1827) specimens of the New Zealand cockle. As a result, it bears the taxonomic name Chione stutchburyi.
