Historia
Edward Burton was a British Army Surgeon and zoologist. He was also a magistrate for Kent. He described several species of bird, for some of which he is the valid binomial authority. Burton may have been the author of an 1821 paper relating to Pelecanus aquilus Linn. on Ascension Island. He has been identified as the man who in 1835 displayed a specimen of a species of Ratelus at the Zoological Society of London. He has also been identified as the man who in 1836 communicated a description of Pipra squalida, a Himalayan flowerpecker, to the Zoological Society
