The collection of the Museu Oceanográfico D. Carlos I is a historical specimen, instrument and document collection that has been housed at the Aquário Vasco da Gama since 1935. The ornithological collection is made up of 189 surviving records, consisting of mounted specimens and eggs. All specimens were caught in Portugal, except for the two Polysticta stelleri (Pallas, 1769) specimens, offered to D. Carlos I by Edward VII of the United Kingdom. The specimens were captured between 1888 and 1906, as part of the king's hunting parties and oceanographic campaigns.

Most specimens were collected south of the Cabo da Roca, and in the Berlengas archipelago, especially in the Tagus estuary (Lezíria) and mouth, and along the Guadiana. Two specimens were caught to the north of the Cabo da Roca, in Figueira da Foz. One specimen has ambiguous locality data, as official toponymy implies it was captured in Vila Franca, Viana do Castelo, but vernacular toponymy allows for at least two other possible localities. Two specimens, gifted by king Edward VII of the United Kingdom, do not have locality data.

The collection is entirely made up of specimens in the class Aves. The orders Accipitriformes, Gaviiformes and Phoenicopteriformes are each represented by a single species. There are 10 orders and 20 families represented. Of 188 records, 186 are identified to the species level and 2 to the genus level, representing a total of 54 genera, and 74 species. One record is identified only to the class level, and it is comprised of unidentified eggs.

The work consisted of cross checking the card and electronic catalogues for transcription errors. Once the cross checking was completed, recorded species names were checked for synonymy using the Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive (del Hoyo et al., 2017).
Generate a Darwin Core compatible electronic catalogue with all verified information.
The specimens in D. Carlos's ornithological specimens were captured in Portugal, mostly from the Berlengas archipelago to the Algarve. Two specimens were caught north of the Berlengas, in Figueira da Foz. One specimen has an ambiguous locality datum depending on whether official or vernacular toponymy was used. There are two specimens of Steller's eiders caught outside Portugal, gifted to D. Carlos I by Edward VII of the United Kingdom. The specimens were captured as part of D. Carlos's hunting parties, and also during his oceanographic expeditions, starting in 1896 (Ceríaco, 2014).
There are no surviving records of the sampling methods used, as all documents pertaining to the bird collection are drafts of the Catalogo Illustrado das Aves de Portugal (Bragança 1903), and correspondence, including letters from Prof. Paulino de Oliveira (Ferreira 1987).
The validity of species' names was checked using the Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive (del Hoyo et al., 2017).

The aim of the project was to compile a taxonomically updated electronic catalogue of the ornithological specimens, compatible with the Darwin Core standard.
No funding was used.
