Armand David, a Lazarist missionary, was one of the most important French naturalists of the second half of the 19th century. He spent more than 10 years in China, Tibet and Mongolia. He made an extensive contribution to the development of knowledge of the fauna, flora and geology of Asia. He also discoved and introduced the Giant panda, the Chinese giant salamander, and Father David’s deer to natural history collections in Europe. Father David was the collaborator and friend of W. Taczanowski, K. Branicki and A. Waga – naturalists of the Zoological Cabinet of Warsaw. The author of the present article found, in the Lazarist Congregation archives of Paris, several letters in relation with the zoological collection of Warsaw. Foundings also include letters about different explorations of Polish scientists exiled in Siberia. B. Dybowski’s research on the fauna of Central and Eastern Siberia shall be understood as completing A. David’s research in China. A part of this correspondence is about Charles and René Oberthür’s study on insects from Siberia and Peru (collections gathered by J. Sztolcman and K. Jelski). It is also about Taczanowski’s edition of The Ornithology of Peru and The Birds of Eastern Siberia. Therefore, this correspondence brings new important information to the history of the Zoological Cabinet in Warsaw, but also to the history of faunistical research of Asia and South America.

Ignacio Bolivar, one of the most prominent entomologists of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Director of the National Museum of Natural History in Madrid, corresponded with naturalists associated with the Zoological Cabinet in Warsaw. The collection of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales contains the letters of Władysław Taczanowski, Ludwik Dembowski, and Ludwik Młokosiewicz. Bolivar determined orthoptera sent by Konstanty Jelski and Jan Sztolcman from South America and by Ludwik Młokosiewicz from the Caucasus. At Taczanowski’s request, he sent to Warsaw the specimens of beetles and butterflies from Spain, the Iberian woodpecker and the African hymenoptera, determined by Oktawiusz Radoszkowski. Młokosiewicz’s letters concern specimens of insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals sent from Georgia to Madrid as well as preparations of the Bolivar expedition to the Caucasus. Letters of Polish naturalists to Bolivar are important documents of the history of the Zoological Cabinet in Warsaw and European natural history collections in the 19th century.

The article presents the Polish translation and analysis of the letters from Władysław Taczanowski (1819–1890) to Aleksander Strauch (1832–1893). The correspondence is stored in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and comprises 29 letters written between 1870 and 1889. The main theme of these letters is specimens of reptiles and amphibians sent to Warsaw by Polish naturalists, such as Benedykt Dybowski from Siberia, Konstanty Jelski from French Guiana and Peru, Jan Kalinowski from Korea, as well as specimens brought by Taczanowski from Algeria. Strauch determined the species and used them in his publications. This correspondence is also a valuable testimony of the exchange of specimens between the Warsaw Zoological Cabinet and the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. In return for herpetological specimens, the Warsaw collection received numerous fish specimens from the Russian Empire and a collection of birds from Mikołaj Przewalski’s expedition to Central Asia. The content of the letters allows a better understanding of the functioning of natural history museography but also the organization of shipments, preparation, determination, and exchange of specimens. They are a valuable document of the history of nineteenth-century scientific museography.
