McConville, J. H.
McCOGreenwood Memorial Park, San DiegoNVILLE, J. Harry (1879-1945), an “old San Diego collector.” It is noted in the May 15, 1912 Ooligist:
“California Condor's Egg. While at San Diego, March 25th we purchased the collection of eggs formerly belonging to J. H. McConville, an old San Diego collector, but which for a number of years had belonged to Dr. C. C. Valle, and has been on exhibition in the Chamber of Commerce building in that city. This collection of eggs contained one of the best known and certainly one of the best prepared specimens of the eggs of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) in existence. This egg was fresh when taken and was blown with a No. 2 drill. An account of the taking of this egg was published in The Condor, Volume 11, page 124-6. In securing it we have made a valuable addition to our collection.” (The Oologist May 15, 1912).
