Since the catalogues of the zoological (1994) and botanical and landscape (1999) drawings of Ferdinand Bauer in the Natural History Museum, London were published, it has been possible to refine the attributions of the “finished” watercolours held there through examination of more of the original field drawings held at the Archiv, Naturhistorisches Museum Wien. As a result, locality and chronology information for many zoological and botanical drawings held in London are updated here. Such precision has bearing on phenology of the germane plant species in light of climate-change and distributions now reduced through European land-use practices. In an appendix there is discussion of the drawings attributed to Bauer and now held in the Linnean Society of London; some are possibly the work of Franz Bauer
