ISSN 2045-4643 (Print) ISSN 2045-4651 (Online) ZOOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY or Opera Zoologica Edited by Edward C. Dickinson Volume 2 Numbers 2 & 3 November 2012 Aves ZOOLOGICAL Bibliography or Opera Zoologica was conceived as a quarterly, but this frequency must depend on the supply of appropriate papers and quarterly issues are proving to be impossible. Once the journal is well known across all fields of zoology we hope to be able to achieve regular quarterly publication. All issues are open access and are made available for download free from the website of Aves Press Limited, who publish this focused journal as a service to the zoological community. The periodical has as its object the dissemination of reports on investigations into the bibliography of zoology, especially those relating to the dating of publications and to authorship. Our Notes section seeks to list recent publications elsewhere on the same topic, please send contributions whether of proposed papers or to the Notes section to ZoolBibl@avespress.com. Our intent is to guarantee publication of an accepted proposal within six months of submission of a finished MS that meets our guidelines and editorial requirements. For this reason issues will vary in length but the target is a volume of four issues filling a total of at least 160 pages. Article 8.6 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999, postpones the validity of any nomenclatural act published electronically to the date of its appearance in printed form. To ensure that our authors are not prevented from validly including such acts we print a small number of copies for subscription as well as for official deposit and despatch these on the same day as the on-line version is made available, that being the day-date given in the masthead on our opening page. For the list of depositories receiving and archiving Zoological Bibliography see the list on our back cover.

ZOOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY or Opera Zoologica Volume 2 Numbers 2 & 3 Published 26 November 2012 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Readers will be aware of the announcement by the I.C.Z.N. that names proposed within electronic publications will be valid with effect from 1 January 2012 as long as the work published meets certain conditions. Validity can apply to new nomenclatural acts as well. The full details are set out in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 69 (3): 161-169 of September, 2012. How does this affect Zoological Bibliography ? Subject to certain conditions it allows us to terminate the print version of this periodical. Before we can do that we must arrange for archiving (although we could simply state that we intend to have our periodical archived), and we must review the specification of the PDF we provide. We therefore intend to complete volume 2 - by adding a fourth issue after this double issue - and to commence volume 3 with no printed counterpart. We shall also have to register every electronic issue of Zoological Bibliography with ZooBank and include a ZooBank registration number or - more probably - one for each article that contains a new name or nomenclatural act. A few comments on details of the changes made to the Code may be of interest. First and foremost, note that ZooBank is formally declared ready and fit for purpose, and, as I understand it, there is considerable activity both in "prospective registration" and in "retrospective registration" of names. It should be noted that the process being applied to retrospective registration is bulk importation, e.g. from Linnaeus's 10th edition of Systema Naturae and the Index Animalium of Sherborn. Those of us using Sherborn have many reasons to be thankful for his diligence and his high levels of accuracy but that does not mean that the imported data will all be correct. For example see the last issue of Zoological Bibliography (pp. 35-36) for a report on Sherborn's inconsistent treatment of names introduced by Temminck in the Nouveau recueil des planches coloriees d'oiseaux. There are undoubtedly also cases where Sherborn, when dealing with part works, did not allow for the scientific names on plates antedating the text. Until ZooBank can organise thorough validation of its "retrospective" content it will be a very problematic resource which may even differ from its supposed source. The original scan of the Index Animalium carried out by the Smithsonian Institution contained errors due to the quality of the optical character recognition. It is to be hoped that none of these has been brought into ZooBank. But the point is that only the original publication can be trusted. To take just a small example, diphthongs, many readers will know how difficult it is to be sure whether one is looking at ae or oe in some of the fonts used in the early nineteenth century. As regards nomenclatural acts the current Code may require some rewording to ensure that these can be databased in sufficient detail. It seems to be partly due to the recognition of this that actual registration of names or acts, as opposed to works, is said to be voluntary. There are particular problems with First Reviser actions. I am not aware that there is any Letter from the Editor 58 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) existing register of those that have happened since 1758 thus anyone claiming to be a First Reviser, as I have, knows that a prior actor may have been on the stage. To make this yet more complex the 1999 Code, by the introduction of Art. 24.2.4, allowed even the very first conscious First Revisers to have their actions nullified by a less deliberate act by an original author. This was addressed by David et al. (2009) in Zootaxa (PDFs available from the offices of Aves Press on request). The question posed then was: "was it intended that the introduction of this new article should have retroactive effect?" The Code, in Art. 86.3, seems to make clear that it must be so applied but the consequences of tins look likely to come home to roost in ZooBank. Note too that ZooBank subsumes the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature and although the announcement implies that a printed version of that will be sustained this seems ambitious. There is also the problem of errors in the Official Lists which never get corrected because the Secretariat judges that it does not have the power to correct even obvious mistakes. The Offical List misrepresents the original spelling of Carbo (now Phalacro corax) albiventer, using instead albiventor - a misspelling in the original application to the Commission, in a case that was not about determining the spelling. Such errors may, it seems, now be embedded in ZooBank where they will eventually be confronted by validation. At which point we have to hope that the original spelling will prevail, thus supporting current usage which has studiously ignored the error in the Official List. This is just one of three or four errors brought to the attention of the Secretariat with the request that correction be pursued. Technically ZooBank, as a construct, is in the best of hands, but for ZooBank to be of real value it needs to achieve a degree of reliability that exceeds that of most of the voluntary databases that are available on differing websites. The Biodiversity Heritage Library, and plans to link original descriptions from there to the records in ZooBank, offers some hope that this standing can be achieved. However, importing retrospective registration details without validation at the time, a decision quite understandable from the standpoint of cost and delay, may well be creating a monster that will be much regretted over coming years. CD-ROMs - except for those issued between 1986 and 2013 - are not physical copies and do not qualify. The related changes include outlawing "handwriting reproduced in facsimile by any process" and this is the case for anything produced after 1930. This affects the microfiche edi tion of The Richmond index to genera and species of birds as published in 1992. It will still be an important tool, and while it was always clear that this had the character of a work in progress, it is now explicitly not a publication that can provide a new name or a valid nomenclatural act (not that its founder ever supposed it could). The idea of requiring qualifying publications to have an ISBN or ISSN became the new Article 8.5. 3. 2, which states that a registered work must have an ISBN, or in the case of a journal containing a work, an ISSN, but does not require that these appear in the work itself. Reasons in favour of requiring an ISBN or ISSN were consistency with the new botanical rules for electronic publication (although it was recognised that these gave no assurance of quality), and that the likelihood of archival deposit would be enhanced. Finally, it is a pleasure to report that in this issue of Zoological Bibliography we have a contribution that is from neither entomology nor ornithology and we hope this leads to the receipt of contributions from yet more disciplines.

ABSTRACT: The first zoological volume of the Voyage de I 'Astrolabe, containing mammals and birds, bears a title page date 1830. 1 assembled evidence that it was probably printed by March 1831, but that it was not published (made available to the public) before spring 1832. The Bibliographic de la France listed it as published on 5 May 1832 and this date is recommended as the official date of publication for the purposes of zoological nomenclature. KEYWORDS: Quoy, Gaimard, Dumont d'Urville, Voyage de V Astrolabe, publication date, bibliographic sources. INTRODUCTION The French corvette V Astrolabe circumnavigated the world in 1826-1829 on behalf of Charles X (1757-1836), King of France, and under the command of Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville (1790-1842). 1 After its return to France in March 1829, Dumont d'Urville started to publish a multi-volume report on the results of this expedition, the exact plan of which was widely advertised in 1830 (Beck 1830: 227, Dumont d'Urville 1830: unnumbered page facing the title page, Anonymous 1830a: 127-128, 1830c: 338), but not earlier. The "Troisieme Division" of this work, devoted to the zoology (except entomology) was authored by the expedition's naturalists Jean Rene Constant Quoy (1790-1869) 2 and Joseph Paul Gaimard (1796-1858). 3 The birds were treated on pp, 153-260 of the first volume of the Troisieme Division. This volume bears a cover date 1830 and all bird species described in it are generally dated from 1830, although Sherbom & Woodward (1901) and Zimmer (1926) discussed this date and Dickinson (2011c) considered dating of this volume unresolved. 4 A search of literature shows that the ornithological (and also mammalogical) section of the Voyage de V Astrolabe was published in 1832, as detailed below. THE TEXT The first volume of the Troisieme Division contains introductory matter (pp. i-1), " Zoologie " (pp. 1-259), errata (p. 260), a list of contents (pp. 261-264) and a list of plates (pp. 265-268). The main text ("Zoologie") includes an " Introduction " (pp. 5-12) and covers "Mammiferes” (pp. 15-152) and " Oiseaux ” (pp. 153-259). 1 For the life of Dumont d'Urville see Guillon (1986) and Dunmore (2007). 2 For the life of Quoy see Noel (1960). 3 This division included four volumes in six parts (Quoy & Gaimard 1832a,b, 1833a,b, 1834, 1835). 4 Gray (1842: 180) dated this volume from 1832, without explanation. Fisher (1947: 135) dated it from 1833; again without explanation. Jin Mlikovsky 60 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) The introductory matter includes an "Advertisement" (pp. i-iv) signed by Quoy and Gaimard in Paris on 29 June 1830, and a collection of "rapports" (pp. vii-1), the last of which was signed on 16 November 1829. This introductory matter, although paginated with Roman numerals, was not published later than the main part (" Zoologie "), because gathering ( feuille ) numbers start with "1" on p. i and continue throughout the book. The Zoologie starts on the third page of gathering 4 (each gathering has 16 pages). CHRONOLOGY 1830 Anonymous (1830a: 127-128, 1830c: 338) and Beck (1830: 227) announced that the multi- volume Voyage de Astrolabe would be published in Paris and presented a general plan of the work, including the information that the Zoologie by Quoy and Gaimard would be published in five volumes and accompanied by an atlas of 200 plates. Anonymous (1830a: 128) added that the first iivraison (presumably of the Histoire division) was published on 15 February 1830 and that subsequent livraisons would appear on a bi-weekly basis. No indication has been found to show that the Zoologie started to be published in 1830, although the title-page of the first volume of this division bears the date 1830. 5 6 1831 Two notes indicate that the first volume of the Zoologie division was available by March 1831. First, Ferussac 1 ’ (1831: 347) said in the March volume of his Bulletin des Sciences Naturelles et de Geologie that he saw ("nous avons sous les yeux") a demi- volume of the Zoologie, and he listed its main chapters (which indicates that he had the first volume of the Zoologie at his disposal) and mentioned that the work was nicely ("superbe") produced. Second, a report on the "admissions, ouvrages offerts, etc." made at the General Meeting of the French Societe de Geographic held on 25 March 1831 in Paris contained the following statement (Anonymous 1831a: 164): "Par M. le ministre de la Marine 7 : [...] Voyage de la corvette l'Astrolabe. Historique 16 a 21 e liv. Zoologie l er vol. de texte." It is not clear from this statement whether the Minister reported that these books were ready to go to the press, or whether he was exhibiting proofs at the Meeting or perhaps even printed copies of these books. Tire wording in the reports on subsequent meetings indicates that these were indeed donations, but if so this does not prove general release. These two reports seem to provide evidence that the ornithological part of the Voyage de l'Astrolabe was published by March 1831. However, some evidence suggests otherwise. 5 This date probably signalled when the printing started according to the French custom of that time (L. Overstreet, in litt., 17 October 2012), not necessarily when the work was published. For example, the botanical atlas of Dumont d'Urville’s Voyage de La Coquille (Duperrey 1827-1834), which was announced in the Bibliographic de la France of 15 April 1826 (Anonymous 1826: 318), carries the date 1826 on its title page, but Stafleu & Cowan (1976: 703) found that it appeared in parts between September 1827 and 1834. 6 Andre Etienne Justin Pascal Joseph Francois d' Audebert de Ferussac (1786-1836) was a French naturalist. 7 This was probably Henri de Rigny (1782-1835), who replaced Charles Remerder de Longpre, baron d'Haussez (1778-1854) in the chair of the ministre de la Marine on 13 March 1831, just two weeks before this Meeting (Anonymous 2012). Jiri Mlikovsky 61 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) First, Anonymous (1831b: 269) reported that "M. le ministre de la marine [sic]" donated to the Societe Gcographique on its General Meeting held on 25 November 1831 "Voyage de la corvette d' Astrolabe; (historique 22° a 31 c liv. texte, 1 vol., zoologie 2 e a 5 C liv.)". This might have meant that what was called "volume" by Anonymous (1831a: 164) was in fact a livraison (if so, then evidently the first one). An alternative explanation that Anonymous (1831b: 269) meant livraisons of the Atlas is improbable because Ferussac (1831: 348) already knew three livraisons in March 1831. Second, Ferussac (1831: 347) said that he saw the whole volume 1 of the Zoologie (see above), but provided no details. He might have seen the copy presented by the Minister to the Societe de Geographic on 25 March 1831 (see above), another copy available to the public or a publisher's copy, which was not yet published. No other indication is available that the first volume of the Zoologie was published in 1831. 8 1832 The Bibliographic de la France of 5 May 1832 listed the first volume of the Zoologie as published (Anonymous 1832: 254). Sherborn & Woodward (1901: 333) suggested that this is "a misprint for vol. ii, pt. 1 [= Quoy & Gaimard 1832b], which has the same number of pages" and which bears a date 1832 on its title page. They erred, because the two volumes do not have the same number of pages and the size given in the Bibliographic de la France ("20 feuilles 1/8") agrees with the size of the first volume, not with the size of the part one of the second volume. 9 10 There is thus no reason to doubt that the Bibliographic de la France (Anonymous 1832a: 254) referred to the first volume of the Zoologie 3° La France Litteraire stated that the zoological series of the Voyage de l' Astrolabe started to be published in May 1832 (Anonymous 1832b: 440). This journal took the information from the Bibliographic de la France, which means that it was not able to get access to the published 8 McMurtric (1831: 478) said that Quoy and Gaymard [sic] “have published the “Zoologie du Voyage de rUranie [in] 1824" and “are at present occupied with that of the "Voyage de T Astrolabe," of which several numbers have already appeared." This statement appeared in a bibliographic supplement to McMurtrie's translation of Geoge Curvier's Regne animal. This supplement contains some evident mistakes. For example, McMurtrie (1831: 475) assured his readers that Peter Pallas's " Zoograpliia Rosso- Adriatica" [sic!] “has not yet been published", although the book is entitled Zoograpliia Rosso-Asiatica and was published at latest in 1827 (see Sherborn 1934, Sclater 1951, Stresemann 1951, Svetovidov 1976 and Dickinson 2011b for a discussion) and its official publication date for the purposes of the zoological nomenclature has since been set at 1811 (1CZN 1954). McMurtrie (1831: 478) was not specific as regards which “ Astrolabe " volumes were published. It would be difficult to explain that McMurtrie, an Englishman, would have at his disposal several volumes of a French work that was not available to significant French zoologists (such as Ferussac, F. Cuvier and Duvernoy cited above) of that time. It seems that he knew the prospectus for the work and guessed that at least some volumes would have been published before his book appeared. In any case, McMurtrie's statement provides no proof that any volumes of Quoy and Gaimard's "Zoologie" (of Astrolabe ) had been published by 1831, even less that the part on birds had been. 9 The first volume starts with four unpaginated pages, which are followed by 50 Roman-numbered pages and 268 Latin-numbered pages = 322 pages = 20 feuilles 1/8 (1 feuille =16 pages), exactly as given in the Bibliographic de la France. The part one of the second volume starts with four unpaginated pages, which are followed by 320 Latin-numbered pages = 324 pages = 20 feuilles 2/8. 10 It should be noted that the Bibliographic de la France contains no mention of subsequent volumes of the Zoologie division (Table 1). Jiri Mlikovsky 62 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) volume(s) of the Zoologie at that time, although it was published in Paris, where the Voyage also was published. 1833-1836 The Gottingische Gelehrte Anzeigen of 10 January 1833 published a report on the Zoologie volume with mammals and birds (Anonymous 1833a: 49-62), this being the first mention of this book outside of France to the best of my knowledge. The spread of this volume outside France was probably quite slow, as shown by the following records from the German literature: Politz (1833: 320) knew the book only from Anonymous (1833a) and the journal Isis edited by Lorenz Oken (1779-1851) did not know it by 1834 (Anonymous 1834b) and reported on it only in 1835 and 1836 (Anonymous 1835, 1836). Similarly, the Zoologie volumes were unknown in Uppsala in 1834 (Anonymous 1834c: 352-354). A PUBLICATION SCENARIO Dumont d'Urville's Expedition of 1826-1829 was made on the behalf of Charles X of France (1757-1836), who ascended to the throne of France in 1824. The Expedition returned to Toulon, France, on 24 March 1829 and Dumont d'Urville arrived at Paris in May 1829 (Dumont d'Urville 1833: 581-582) and the results of the Expedition were praised (de Rossel 1829, G. Cuvier 1830, F. Cuvier 1831). Detailed plans for a publication of the Expedition's results were made without delay and the plan for the whole set was announced in 1830 (Anonymous 1830a,c, Beck 1830). The first zoological plate was ready already in May 1829 (Audouin et al. 1829: 64) and the first volume of the Histoire division was presented at the Meeting of the French Societe de Geographic on 2 July 1830 (Anonymous 1830b: 69). However, the worsening political situation in France resulted in July 1830 in a revolution (Jardin & Tudesq 1973). Charles X was overthrown. He abdicated and emigrated to England in early August 1830. His ship was captained by Dumont d'Urville (Dunmore 2007). This political turmoil was accompanied by an economic crisis (Pilbeam 1989). 11 In this situation it can be expected 12 that the preparation 13 of at least some of the volumes of the Voyage de V Astrolabe, and their printing and distribution would be affected. 14 11 The impact of these conditions on book production in France is reflected in the number of books registered by the Bibliographic de la France (Figure 1). 12 Dumont d'Urville spoke of "obstacles imprevus", which caused a delay to the General Meeting of the Societe de Geographic held on 14 December 1832 in Paris (Anonymous 1833b: 179). 13 An anomaly in the structure of the Zoologie volumes supports this: The second part ("demi-volume") of the first volume, which should presumably have contained vertebrates other than mammals and birds, has never been published. A chapter on fishes was added to the second part of the third volume. 14 The Bibliography de la France of 5 May 1832 registered eight volumes of the Voyage de F Astrolabe (6 volumes of the Histoire, 1 volume of the Botaniqne and 1 volume of the Zoologie) plus several parts of various atlases, including livraisons I-Vll of the Zoologie (Anonymous 1832a: 255). It is improbable that all of these volumes would all be printed just before this date; more probably they were printed over a longer time period, but their joint registration in the Bibliography de la France of 5 May 1832 indicates that their release was delayed until spring 1832, and it seems likely that minister determined when this might happen. Jin Mlikovsky 63 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) THE DATING SUMMARISED Work on the publications resulting from Dumont d'Urville's Expedition started soon after the Expedition returned to France, in May 1829 (Audouin et al. 1829). First volumes were published in 1830 (Tab. 1). Although the first volume of the Zoologie division bears a title date 1830, there is no evidence that it existed in that year. Presumably, its manuscript was finished and given to the printer and the printing work started. 15 This volume was probably printed by March 1831 (Anonymous 1831a: 164, Ferussac 1831: 347), but there is no evidence that it was distributed at that time (with the possible exception of whatever was presented on 25 March 1831 to the Societe de Geographic). F. Cuvier (1831) in the August 1831 issue of the Journal des Savans did not include mention of the first volume of the Zoologie among the published parts. Duvernoy (1832: 31) explicitly said in a lecture held on 15 November 1831 in Strasbourg that zoological volumes of the Voyage de V Astrolabe were not yet published, but that "le prospectus [...] annonce un ouvrage en douze volumes". Lesson (1831: 646) reported in the Additions et corrections to his Trade d'ornilhologie that Quoy and Gaimard described a parrot species (for which he gave no specific name) in "la partie zoologique du Voyage de T Astrolabe, en ce moment en publication" (in the zoological part of the Voyage de T Astrolabe, now in press). 16 The first piece of evidence that the volume in question was available to the public is its appearance in the Bibliographic de la France of 5 May 1832 (Anonymous 1832a; see also Anonymous 1832b). Subsequently, this volume was reviewed in the Gottingische Gelehrte Anzeigen of 10 January 1833, which confirms that it was published before the end of 1832. So, although the printing of this volume may have started in 1830 (title date) and was probably finished in March 1831 (see above), the earliest date confirming publication in the sense of the Code (ICZN 1999) is 5 May 1832, when it was recorded in the Bibliographic de la France. Thus, for the purposes of zoological nomenclature this date is recommended as the publication date of the first zoological volume of the Voyage de V Astrolabe, which covers mammals and birds. THE NOMENCLATURAL CONSEQUENCES All bird (and mammal) names introduced by Quoy and Gaimard in the first zoological volume of the Voyage de V Astrolabe should be dated from 1832. This changed dating has no effect on the priority of any bird names to the best of my knowledge. THE PLATES The plates were published in livraisons of five plates (Anonymous 1830a: 69, 1834: 344; Ferussac 1831: 348). The contents of first three of these livraisons were listed by Ferussac (1831: 348) in the March 1831 volume of his Bulletin des Sciences Naturelles et de Geologic , which shows that the plates were published independently of the text and not in order. In particular, livraison 1 contained a plate showing "Perruche a tete pourpre” (later pi. 22 of bird 15 The Advertisement (Preface) to this volume was signed by Quoy and Gaimard on 29 June 1830 (Quoy & Gaimard 1832: iv). 16 This part of Lesson's work was presumably published in 1831, although there is no proof for this (Dickinson 2008, 2011a). It is noteworthy, as already observed by Sherborn & Woodward (1901), that Lesson (1831) had not seen the work by Quoy and Gaimard when he completed the man text of his book. Jiri Mlikovsky 64 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) set of plates), livraison 2 contained three plates with birds, one showing "Cheveche de la Nouvelle-Zelande" and ''Scops de Manado" (later pi. 2), another showing "Drongo a gros bee" (later pi. 6), and the third showing "Megapode a pieds rouges" (later pi. 25), and livraison 3 contained a plate showing "Colombe a quee rayee" (later pi. 26). The contents of further livraisons have not been traced. Anonymous (1832a: 255) knew seven livraisons of zoological plates, but gave no details. The bird plates bear no scientific names (only French ones) and their exact dating is thus of minor interest for zoological nomenclature.

Jiri Mlikovsky 69 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Figure 1. Book production in France in 1817-1842 as measured by the number of book items registered by the Bibliographic de la France. The numbers are approximate because more volumes or only parts of a volume might have been recorded as one item and because overlooked books and those which were published late in a year were recorded in a later year. The graphic shows that the number of recorded book items steadily grew until 1826; then stagnated and then sharply dropped in 1830 and again in 1831. Overall, the production in 1831 was by 21 per cent lower than in 1829 and by 25 per cent lower than the recorded maximum in 1826. The recovery slowly started in 1832. This process coincides with the political and economic crisis in France (Pilbeam 1989) and with the observed delay in the publication of the volumes of the Voyage de V Astrolabe. Martyn E.Y.

ABSTRACT: Although the completed volume of the Zoologie of the Mission scientifique du cap Horn (vol. VI) was presented at the International Polar Commission Conference in Munich on 3 September 1891, Evenhuis (2003) showed that the divisions containing the insects were issued before this date. Herein, we present a collation for all twelve divisions with publication dates based on notices in various contemporary publications (particularly the Bibliographic de la France). All but two of the twelve divisions were issued before 3 September 1891. KEYWORDS: Dates of publication, France, voyage, Bibliographic de la France. INTRODUCTION The Mission scientifique du cap Horn of 1882-1883 which was organised under the auspices of the French Ministeres de la marine et de V instruction publique was the "most ambitious" of the expeditions to be mounted in the First International Polar Year (Barr, 1983: 470). A complete set of the Mission scientifique du cap Horn (comprising nine volumes) was presented at the International Polar Commission Conference in Munich on 3 September 1891 (Mascart, 1891: 377-378). The Zoologie section was issued as the sixth volume of this series and consists of three parties (parts) (Anonymous, 1891b: 733; Table 1). Each partie is made up of twelve 'divisions' (A-I, K-M) that correspond to the groups treated (Table 1). The pages of each division are prefixed by the letter of the corresponding division. The Insecte s were further divided into five subdivisions (i.e. DI to DV; also see Evenhuis, 2003: 29). All but two of the twelve divisions were issued separately before 3 September 1891. A collation of dates when each division was published is presented in Table 1. It is of historical interest that the second volume of the Mission scientifique du cap Horn (Tome II, Meteorologie, by J. Lephay) was presented to the Academie des Sciences at the seance of 16 March 1885 (Anonymous, 1885: 784), while the third volume (Tome III) was presented at the seance of 17 May 1886 (Mascart, 1886: 1094-1095). The first volume (Tome I, Histoire du voyage, by Louis-Ferdinand Martial) was only published in 1888 (see discussion below). Louis-Ferdinand Martial (b. 1844, d. 1885), was commander of the Mission (Lambert & Perchoc, 2007: 70, 71), but died two years after the expedition ended, and did not play in a role in the actual publication of the results of the Mission scientifique du cap Horn. AN AVIS WITH POSSIBLE DATING INFORMATION An Avis in the first volume of the Mission scientifique du cap Horn (Martial, 1888) indicated that three divisions of Zoologie volume ( Insectes , Arachnides, and Bryozaires ) had been published (Figure 1). In the Bibliographie de la France, two of these divisions Martyn E.Y. Low & Neal L. Evenhuis 71 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) AVIS. La publication des documents scientifiques resultant de la Mission du Cap Horn comprend les Volumes suivants : ‘Tome I. — Ilistoire du voyage. ‘Tome II. — \iet6orologie. 'Tome III. — Magnetisme terreslre. — Recherches sur la constitution chiraiquc de [’atmosphere. *Tome IV. — Geologic. Tome V. — Rotanique. Tome VI. — Zoologie. A. Mammiferes. B. Oiseaux. C.

An Avis found in Martial (1888) listing the parts of the Mission scientifique du cap Horn that had already been published. Note that title of division “G" of the Zoologie, which is here given as " Annelides" , was later revised to only include the Priapulides (see note accompanying Table 1). (the Insectes and Bryozoaires), as well as Martial's (1888) Histoire du voyage, are listed as having been published [= on or before 15 February 1888] (see Anonymous, 1888b: 117, 119; 1888c: 133). The Bibliographic de la France notice supports the information of the Avis (Figure 1) that the Insectes and Bryozoaires divisions were published before or simultaneously with Martial (1888). As Martial (1888) is known to have been published by 27 January 1888 (Anonymous 1888a: 25), dating the Insectes and Bryozoaires as having been published on or before 27 January 1888 is a reasonable assumption. The Avis, however, appears to have been glued on to a front leaf in Martial (1888), as was a similar Avis (except without the asterisks and footnote) that was glued on to a back leaf in the third partie. There is, therefore, a possibility that the Avis was printed after 27 January 1888. As such, we suggest using the more conservative date of 15 February 1888 as provided by Anonymous (1888b: 117, 119) for the dates of publication of the Insectes and Bryozoaires. Martyn E.Y. Low & Neal L. Evenhuis 72 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) THE PROTOZOAIRES (DIVISION L): DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISSUES The last division of the third partie ( Protozoaires , L) had 53 pages when it was first issued on 12 August 1889 (Anonymous, 1889c: 363). A short communication entitled "Note sur un acarien de la terre de Feu" (pp. L.51-L.53, fig. 9) by P. Megnin concluded this advance issue. In the 1891 reissue of this division as part of the third partie, two additional communications were included: "Description de trois acariens marins (Halacaridae) provenant des cotes de la terre de Feu" (pp. L.55-L.58) by E. Trouessart, and "Description d'une espece nouvelle a'acariens de la famille des Orbatidae, provenant de la terre de Feu" (pp. L.59-L.61) by A. D. Michael. An additional page of errata (p. H.62) also accompanied the 1891 reissue of this division. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Roger Bour (Museum national d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris) kindly reviewed the submitted manuscript and provided us with an earlier date than we originally had for the presentation of the completed Mission scientifique du cap Horn.

Abstract: The recent reference work Priority! The Dating of Scientific Names in Ornithology contained some errors and omitted some explanations which would have been useful. Explanations now felt to be insufficient relate to the interpretation of the corrected dates of publication of works. Changes in the date of a work may not have a direct effect on the date of a seemingly new taxon name; a description may have appeared elsewhere and now be earlier; or a name may lose precedence. Adding details of such cases was not attempted, but here examples are given which illustrate several ways in which such divergence can occur. Also included are some complementary dates which reflect an I.C.Z.N. Opinion in 2003 relating to issues of precedence between the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London and more rapid reports of the Society's meetings appearing in popular journals. KEYWORDS: dates of publication, precedence, Gould, Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, corrections, advance sheets. INTRODUCTION It is sadly true that almost no book of carefully researched information is found, after publication, to be completely satisfactory to its authors. "Priority! Tl%e Dating of Scientific Names in Ornithology" (hereafter called "Priority!") by Dickinson et al. (2011) was subjected to thorough internal review and to referees' comments, and has, indeed, been kindly reviewed (Banks, 2012; Barclay, 2012; Knox, 2012), but it sometimes conveys unintended information or failed to make clear the limitations imposed by its methodology, and it did include some errors. One of us (CJ) has worked through the book and asked probing questions. He found a variety of errors. Here we address most of the points raised; the rest, concerning D'Orbigny's "Voyage dans VAmerique meridionale” , will be covered in a second joint paper. PRECEDENCE In "Priority!" there was a tight focus on the work and its date of publication. Table LXVI was derived from the research into these works. In the Introduction we wrote "Our lists of entries do not provide for the occasional need to determine dates of two different works and state which has priority". This statement, while correct, underplays the importance of remembering the need for it is not as rare as one might suppose. Thus Table LXVI included some date changes that are reflective of the work, but which are not the final word as regards the name. Below we demonstrate that dual publication of an author's work was not uncommon (although the author may not have intended this). In a further section we draw attention to a few cases where two authors published the same name. Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 76 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) PARALLEL PUBLICATION BY THE SAME AUTHOR To retain a clear logic in the methodology applied in "Priority!" it was decided at the outset that the complication of parallel publication, whether by the author alone, or by competing authors, was outside the scope of the book. This complication did receive brief mention in a few cases, but no comment on the subject appears in the introductory chapters perhaps because it was felt that such cases deserved separate publication in the primary literature, i.e. in peer-reviewed journals. Consequently in "Priority!" every work examined was approached with the intent to determine whether its date of publication was known with certainty, or some degree of certainty, or not. This could easily have left the reader believing that a date of publication accepted, for that work, by Dickinson et al. must be correct for each new scientific name within it, and the provision of Table LXVI may have strengthened that belief. That parallel publication made that assumption dangerous was not sufficiently stressed. The following examples illustrate the need to check that the presumed date of publication of a work may not be the same as the date of first valid appearance of a name generally thought to have first appeared in that work: (1) Publication in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London: In "Priority!" the editors referred to published information, such as that of Duncan (1937), on the timing of the issues of the parts of each annual volume. For the work, i.e. each part, that information is quite satisfactory (albeit with minor reservations). However, for any given name that date may not be determinative because reports of the meetings - sometimes including the name of a newly proposed taxon and a description, often much shortened, appeared days to months before the Proceedings in The Literary Gazette, The Analyst, or The Athenaeum or similar journals (Bruce & McAllan, 1991). This particularly affected names proposed by John Gould during the period 1833 to 1870. These authors described 36 such cases arguing for priority to be respected. This was seen as disruptive, and the International Commission for Zoological Nomenclature was asked by Bock & Schodde (1997) to recognise the later formal descriptions in the Proceedings. Eventually the I.C.Z.N. (2003) in Opinion 2026 denied that request, stating that each case must be considered on its merits. One reason for the application to the Commission was the question of authorship; was this to pass to the anonymous reporter who supplied the report of the meeting at which the descriptions of new tax a had been read, or was it to continue to be seen as authored by its oral proposer? Subsequently McAllan (2004) published specific proposals in respect of two names given to birds from New Zealand and these revised citations - not affecting the year of publication - have been accepted (Gill et al v 2010) with Gould still treated as the author. Taken individually, and in the spirit of the I.C.Z.N.'s Opinion, a number of names mainly from Australia and the Americas that have a similar history merit acceptance based on the dates of the earlier reports in one or other of these journals. Because most changes relate to prior publication within the same year few of these, or the New Zealand names, qualified for listing in Table LXVI in the CD with "Priority!" - but one did and was mishandled. It was listed in the table as a paper in the Proceedings for 1857 which did not appear until 1858; but 1857 now needs acceptance: Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 77 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Generic name Specific name Prior publication PZS publication Comment Casuarius bennetti 1857 1858 December 1857 versus January 1858 Other names which did not appear in Table LX VI, because they relate to prior publication, require change in the forthcoming edition of The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World. These - restricted here to those which require a change in the year of publication and do not suffer a change of authorship - are: Odontophorus hyperythrus from 1858 to 1857 [Americas] Tetraogallns tibetanus from 1S54 to 1853 [Asia] Merganetta armata from 1842 to 1841 [Americas]. See also below. Psephotus chrysopterygius from 1858 to 1857 [Australia] Amazilia franciae cyanocollis from 1854 to 1853 [Americas] Anthocephala floriceps from 1854 to 1853 [Americas] Coeligena iris iris from 1854 to 1853 [Americas] Coeligena iris aurora from 1854 to 1853 [Americas] Myrmia microura from 1854 to 1853 [Americas] Aulacorhynchus prasinus caeruleogularis from 1854 to 1853 [Americas] Malurus coronatus from 1858 to 1857 [Australia] SER1CORNIS from 1838 to 1837 [Australasia] Ptiloris victoriae from 1850 to 1849 [Australia] Note that in the case of Merganetta we have not addressed here the issue of the spelling of the generic name. Finally, there is the case of Anser serrirostris for which Bruce & McAllan (1991) proposed a significant change to the date and a change of author from Swinhoe to Gould. Up to now this does not appear to have been re-examined since 2003, but their case appears irrefutable. (2) Gould's illustrated monographs, issued in parts with descriptive texts accompanying his colour plates, were often paralleled by concise papers with technical descriptions but no illustrations in the pages of the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. The Proceedings was seen to be where the names ought to be bestowed and as long as these appeared before the relevant part of Gould's monograph all was well. Quite often, however, a monograph part was out before the name appeared in the Proceedings. In the case of Gould's Century of Himalayan Birds the timing of publication of the individual parts has been compared with the appearance in the Proceedings of the papers by Vigors which were intended to be the original descriptions (McAllan & Bruce, 2002). For most other monographs by Gould which appeared in parts no similar detailed evaluation has appeared. Even so notes within "Priority!" refer to names more correctly cited from the Proceedings in the case of Gould's monographs on the toucans (1833-35) and the trogons (1835-38). (3) Gould, aware of the delays in publication of the Proceedings, also allowed a separate and earlier publication to occur, in Jardine's Contributions to Ornithology (Dickinson et al., 2011), of the following names: Tanysiptera sylvia Halcyon (Syma ?) flavirostris Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 78 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Drymodes super ciliar is Carpophaga assimilis Chlamydera cervi n iven tris Nectarinia australis Monarcha leucotis All these were cross-referenced to the foreseen report of the meeting of the Zoological Society of London on May 14th 1850, which was not published until Jan. 24, 1852 (Duncan, 1937). With the exception of the last one the sources of these names in Peters Check-list were referred correctly to Jardine's Contributions. (4) One major work of the prolific George Shaw, "Vivarium Naturale: The Naturalist's Miscellany" (1789-1813), overlapped with his minor part-works "The zoology and botany of New Holland" (1793) and "The zoology of New Holland" (1793-94), creating potential for confusion over which of his new names appeared first and where. Dickinson et al. (2011) stated that the name Platycercus eximius had appeared not in "The zoology of New Holland" but in "The zoology and botany of New Holland true, but they overlooked the evidence in Schodde & Mason (1997), corroborated by Dickinson et al. (2006), that this name actually first appeared in the "Vivarium Naturale " in February 1792. (5) Ridgway was another author who published almost simultaneously in two or more periodicals. A group of his cases has been explored by Banks & Browning (1979), who identified which of the various competing accounts in different periodicals, appeared first. (6) In another case, Dickinson et al. (2011) in Table XXII listed volume 8 of the Annuaire du Musee Zoologique de VAcademie Imperiale des Sciences, St. Petersbourg, with the date of March 1904, thus suggesting that two forms of the blood pheasant ( Ithaginis cruentus michaelis and L c. berezowksii) named by Bianchi which appeared in there should not be dated from 1903. True, however, these two birds were also described by Bianchi in the January 1904 issue of the Journal fur Ormthologie - an issue not yet known to have been delayed and thus, with date of 31 January, the source to cite. And the more so because the March 1904 date was a date in the Julian calendar and would have been some 10 days into April in the Gregorian calendar. (7) Dating errors may also derive from limited knowledge of preprints. For example, the name Oriolus szalayi seems, from an examination of the Hungarian journal and the subordinate parts in which it was published, to require correction from 1900 - the date cited by Greenway (1962) in Peters' Check-list - to 1901. Indeed, Dickinson et al. (2011: 178) suggested that the results of research carefully done for The Handbook of Birds of the World necessitated that correction, and endorsed it by including a table of the dates of publication of the volumes and parts of the relevant journal developed through further research by two acknowledged colleagues. Yet both the author of the research for the handbook, and Dickinson et al. (2011) - and the two helpful colleagues - overlooked the notation, in a card in the Richmond Index, to the effect that a preprint existed carrying the date November 1, 1900. Of course, the Richmond Index was always a work in progress, rather than a finished work, and it can be dangerous to accept assertions like this unless they can be corroborated. But depiction of such evidence was beyond the scope of the index cards which were not intended for publication. Now published, and citable as "Richmond, 1992", such reported evidence, not being illustrated and made explicit, should be newly researched. Richmond, and those who added to his card index Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 79 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) later, worked in the Division of Birds at the United States National Museum, and thus a logical point of departure is to find out whether the preprint concerned has been preserved in that organisation's "reprint collection". It is thought that the above- mentioned reprint collection survives, as, for the time being, does the reprint collection in Tring. However, in recent years such reprint collections have been seen as redundant and they are threatened. They also get 'pruned' of their 'duplicates' and it now becomes apparent that such pruning could lead to a preprint being discarded due to misconceptions about its importance. Happily in this case the reprint collection in the Rothschild Library in the Natural History Museum in Tring holds an example of this preprint. Evidence of this kind must be retained. Major institutional libraries need to decide whether a special collection of digitised examples of such material should be created and protected. Until such policy issues have been properly considered at a global level, e.g. by the International Commission for Zoological Nomenclature, and subsequently agreed, librarians should maintain their 'reprint collections' and seek to identify preprints because these are of special importance. PUBLICATION BY ANOTHER AUTHOR An author may also lose precedence, or apparently do so, due to delayed publication of his own manuscript and faster publication by a fellow scientist who was taken into his confidence. (1) Lawrence ('I860' = 1861) described a new hummingbird with the name Basilinna xantusii in the Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History in New York. Either before submitting this, or while awaiting its publication, Lawrence sent a specimen to Gould to examine. Gould, respecting and using Lawrence's name for this, depicted the novelty in part 21 of his Monograph of the Hummingbirds or Family Trochilidae which is said to have been published on May 1, 1861 (Sauer, 1982). This could have been before Lawrence's article but in fact for this issue of the Annals we have a receipt date at the Smithsonian Institution of April 21, 1861. (2) Gould when publishing his A century of birds from the Himalayan mountains relied upon Vigors for the formal descriptions in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London . After this Gould provided his own texts and published his own novelties. However, he still occasionally drew on the work of others. Dickinson (2004) has noted that some new birds were described by Moore for the Proceedings and by Gould for his The Birds of Asia (1849-83). The riddles posed by three Moore names in the genus Aegithalos over which account appeared first was not correctly resolved in 2004 and required corrective footnotes to Dickinson et al. (2006). (3) In the case of two parrots Salvadori and P. L. Sclater found themselves in competition. Although it is likely that they both intended Salvadori in the Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova to be the original author, credit has been widely given to Sclater's publication in The Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. This case is carefully explained on page 174 of Priority! except that where P.L. Sclater should have been mentioned the name Salvin was used! (4) As readers will know new names can also appear twice coincidentally based on different type material. In Priority! on page 7, mention is made of a minivet - named Pericrocotus Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 80 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) speciosus fohkiensis by Buturlin (1910) and again by Baker (1920). The two names almost certainly attach to the same taxon (the two type localities are given as Ashong for Buturlin's name, and Yamakan for Baker's (see Deignan, 1964)). Baker's name is a junior objective homonym and synonym and, while preoccupied, was validly introduced. ERRORS AND OMISSIONS Lesson's Centime Zoologique was not well served by providing a table dating the plates without adding the pagination and thus the dates of the names according to whether the text appeared first or the plates. This led to errors in Table 66 in respect of Aqnila verreauxii, Attagis , Attagis gayi, Thinocorus orbygnianus, Tangara fastuosa and Spindalis zena pretrei which all date from text in 1831 and not plates in 1832. A related problem crept into the same table, this was for Tangara arthus where the date information was correct, but the indication of page 118 in Priority! was not - it should have read page 121. (For more helpful information see Table 1). In discussing Schomburgk's Reisen in Britisch-Guiana in den Jahren 1840-1844 it was noted that "one new bird, named to honour Schomburgk, is described in tlieil 2 in text by Cabanis". This was wrong there is insufficient evidence that the description of Crex schomburgkii was written by Cabanis (there being for example no use of quotation marks); the mention of "Cab." must be taken to refer to his supply of a MS name. An elementary mistake was made as regards the Annuaire du Musee Zoologique de V Academic Imperiale des Sciences, St. Petersbourg. On p. 177 in Priority! it is said that the first 12 volumes were "single issue volumes". Table XXII shows this not to be the case for vol. 12. However, more importantly, this is not a safe statement regarding the earlier volumes. Those volumes inspected contained no original wrappers and gave no breakdown of the parts, and a dangerous assumption was made. Further evidence is needed on all of the first eleven volumes. Quite a few accounts of works covered in Priority! reported the evidence for and against a change in date knowing that detailed research in relation to names within the works had yet to be undertaken. Thus, in the case of part works, parts might be dated, but whether parts that required changed dates held new names to which these same date changes must be applied was not always apparent. In some cases it was stated that such work remained to be done, but in other cases this was merely inferred. Yet in some of these cases the next step in the research was obvious. Anyone with a database listing the names published within a given part of a part work was enabled to make such corrections as seemed to be necessary. Colin Jones was therefore able to offer the following corrections: Micrastur buckleyi (table LXVI, line 79) The correct date is 1919 see text page 151. Chelictinia riocourii (table LXVI, line 93) The notes to this table indicate that this is in Livraison 11 of Temminck & Laugier's Planches Coloriees. This is not correct; it is in fact in Livraison 15. The relevant wrapper showing the correct original spelling has been depicted in Dickinson (2012). Edward C.

Dickinson & Colin Jones 82 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Aquila [pomarina] hastata (table LXVI, line 129) The correct date of publication is 1831, as this was in the first of the two parts on birds in Belanger's book. There was prolonged confusion over the date to use for the second part, and this led to a mistaken use of 1832 in the table. Centropus superciliosus (table LXVI, line 274) The use of 1827 is an error; the correction is from 1833 to 1828. Selenidera nattereri (table LXVI, line 433) This mistakenly showed 1836 as the date to be used in the future and implied that the date had been rightly corrected to 1836 in Dickinson (2003). In so far as the date of appearance in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London is concerned, the change to 1836 was correct. However, the table should have shown 1835 as the correct date for future use as the citation switches to part 3 of the Monograph (see Priority! p. 96). Phyllomyias burmeisteri zeledoni (table LXVI, line 508) There should have been no such line. Tire date 1869 is correct. Tyrannus savana savanna (table LXVI, line 543) No corrected date of publication was given because, although the dates in use for names in this work can now be seen to have been incorrectly derived, no fresh evidence has been unearthed. There are thus two choices available: to recalibrate the dates using the more accurate start date of this part work (see Dickinson, 2011) but otherwise relying on the logic of Browning & Monroe (1991) of regular issues, or to retain the dates now in use despite knowing them to need correction. Until a set of this part work reveals the content per part - and Browning or Monroe would appear to have found such a set but Ralph Browning (pers. comm.) does not recall where that might be held - the choice is not simple. Moreover, the data given by Browning & Monroe was not internally consistent. Meanwhile, R. Massmann has discovered that the name Tyrannus savanna was introduced by Daudin (1802) supported by appropriate indications. This is unpublished information but it has been made available by www.zoonomen.net. Xiphorhynchus promeropirhynchus costaricensis (table LXVI, line 620) There should have been no such line. The date is correct at 1889. Oriolus szalayi (table LXVI, line 780) The date correction here should be ignored as no account was taken of the preprint (discussed above). Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 83 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) ADDITIONS TO TABLE LXVI: 1) Lampornis clemenciae demenciae (see Dickinson, 2003: 268) changes from 1829 to 1830 (see table LXVI, line 365); the taxon called Amazilia cyanocephala cyanocephala (Dickinson 2003: 266) was published on the same page and needs the same date change. 2) The date applicable to all or part of volume 1 of Museum Heineanutn by Cabanis has puzzled numerous contributors to Peters's Check-list and that confusion led Dickinson (2003) following them to use an illogical mix of 1850 and 1851 (and even once, in error, 1852). Room for confusion begins with the indication "1850-1851" on the title page and was discussed by Quaisser & Dickinson (2011) and they concluded that all the text, except perhaps pp. 1-24 or 1-32, should be dated 1851. The Foreword, which following usual practice would be prepared after the text, is dated October 1851. More recently Mlikovsky (2012) has argued persuasively that publication was actually deferred until 1853 - despite the date of 1851 on the title page (although his case against the existence of "Advance Sheets" is weaker). Mlikovsky recommended that no changes in dates be made pending further research to determine whether any names fall into the synonymy of other names published before 1853. Table 2 summarises all taxon names used by Dickinson (2003) that are derived from this volume. In a few cases corrected information is in Table LXVI, but in most cases it is not. 3) Gray, G.R. (1844-49). The genera of birds ... (see Priority! p. 103) Table IV privides a direct link is made between the content and the dates of publication. This reveals that Psarocolius wagleri dates from 1844 not 1845, and that the generic name Phegornis should be dated 1847, not 1846 as given by Peters (1934: 258). Further review may yield other corrections. Mention was made in Priority! of the cancellation and reissue of certain parts of this work. Examples of those original parts have now been located, and a comparison is being made between them and the pages that succeeded them. A separate report on this will be forthcoming in due course.

Colin remembered tire article by Lafresnaye (1842) (who also used the name de La Fresnaye) wherein are mentioned several species collected during the expedition and some of the plates, despite which the date 1846 was retained by Dickinson et al. (2011) for the publication of the plates. The authority for 1846 is Zimmer (1926) and he referred to Sherborn & Woodward (1901) where it is stated that the plate list dates from 1846. This date may, in fact, relate to the completion of the set, and it is possible that they were issued in parts earlier but no evidence of this seems to have been reported. Thus Lafresnaye may have seen proofs rather than issued plates. Be that as it may, Lafresnaye describes Grallaria squamigera , Grallaria Guatimalensis and Arremon rufi-vertex, attributing ail three names to Florent-Prevost. At this period it was common for authorship of a name to be credited by the author of a paper to whosoever had coined the name. There seems to be little doubt that such tributes were intended to result in enduring attribution. This intent has been overridden in modern times. As the rules of nomenclature expanded to address more and more issues it became accepted that credit should not attach to an author not involved in publication. In this case Prevost was the author for the text in the Voyage, and that text may well have been written, but it was not published. Thus, by default, precedence requires these names to be attributed to Lafresnaye, 1842. In Table LX VI lines 594 and 595 correctly reflect the date change and refer to page 129, although there is no explanation to be found there for the use of 1842; but, in addition, table LXVI fails to reflect the change of authorship of these names. OTHER UNRESOLVED ISSUES There is some evidence, discussed in Dickinson et al. (2011: 76-77), that the second volume of Bonaparte's Conspectus Generum Avium may have been made available in parts. Quite a number of names were proposed by Bonaparte during the period 1851 to 1857 and while some are cited from this volume no report has been published of a thorough examination of his other publications in this period to see which names were in fact published in earlier works than the Conspectus. This challenge remains. Regarding d'Orbigny's Voyage dans VAmerique meridionale, discussed in Dickinson et al. (2011: 88-89), there is a need to compile in one report the information published in the Magasin de Zoologie and in the text and plates of the book. Since the plates in some cases appeared before the related text of the Voyage , some taxon name dates may- require correction. This compilation is being prepared for separate publication. However, it seems Edward C. Dickinson & Colin Jones 87 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) likely that matters will still not be reliably resolved because the only reported set of wrappers (see Sherborn & Griffin, 1934) almost certainly passed into private hands (Anthony Payne, pers. comm. Jan. 2007) and cannot now be located, while the careful list then made has also disappeared and the information published leaves gaps and is somewhat contradictory. The Voyage antour du Monde ... sur la Corvette de Sa Majeste , La Coquille also awaits a fuller paper, and again the necessary research has been conducted and the paper is in preparation. In this work, where names appeared in plate captions and again in the text, the plates were always earlier than the relevant text. This was made clear in Table VIII of Priority! But, as mentioned therein on p. 122, "many names were first published elsewhere". In most such cases the earlier publication was in Lesson's Manuel d'Ornithologie. This work, in two volumes, appeared in June 1828 and is dated from 28 June. In a few instances publication was even earlier. Two pigeons ( Columba oceanica Lesson & Garnot and Columba zoece Lesson) were described - respectively on pp. 316 and 314 - in vol, 40 of the Dictionnaire des Sciences naturelles in text provided by Desmarest (1826). Mathews (1913) considered Desmarest should be seen as the published author of these names, both of which were MS names intended for later publication by the individuals indicated. Under the present edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (I.C.Z.N., 1999) that interpretation seems correct. Note that, as exhibited above, the dip thong reads as an oe dip thong but would be expected to be formed as an ae dipthong and is usually so interpreted. It should be noted, although tlnis has not been deeply researched, that Lesson was later invited to author some sections of the ornithological text in this dictionary; indeed this seems to have begun the same year in volume 42. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Because this paper derives from the careful, critical work of CJ it is only appropriate that ECD thank him first for his help. The underlying work on the book in which ECD had the help of Leslie Overstreet, Bob Dowsett and Murray Bruce also deserves thanks and thanks must go to them for much encouragement. We much appreciate the help extended in the use of essential library facilities by Alison Harding of the Natural History Museum, Tring. Thanks also go to Normand David for his interest in the Voyage autour du Monde ... sur la Corvette de Sa Majeste , La Coquille and to James Jobling for help with Gould's work and for reading a draft of this paper. Thanks also go to Bob Dowsett and Richard Schodde for some corrections. REFERENCES Baker, E.C.S., 1920.

Williams 90 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Identification and dating of the editions and issues of “Le Attinie", a taxonomic monograph of the world's sea anemones (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia), by Angelo Andres R.B. Williams COPYRIGHT: © 2012 Williams. This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. ABSTRACT: Angelo Andres (1851-1934) wrote a comprehensive illustrated monograph of the world's sea anemones, even now still a major source for bibliographic, taxonomic, nomenclatural and general biological data. Because it was published three times with different paginations during 1883-1884, there has been confusion about the appropriate version and date to be cited in taxonomic works. The present paper describes the content, layout and pagination of each version. Their order of publication is also established; first and second issues of the first edition appeared in 1883, and a second edition in 1884. Details are given of the new scientific names up to generic level. Only the first issue of the first edition should be used for taxonomic citations, whereas any of the three versions may validly be cited for other, more general, purposes. KEYWORDS: Angelo Andres, Bay of Naples, Cnidaria, editions, issues, Le Attinie, paginations, publication dates, sea anemones. INTRODUCTION Angelo Andres (1851-1934) was the author of the monumental work Le Attinie, a comprehensive illustrated monograph, written in Italian, of the world's sea anemones sensu Into (phylum Cnidaria). It is frequently cited in taxonomic studies of sea anemones sensu stricto, tube anemones, jewel anemones and encrusting anemones, since it contains many new scientific names. Unfortunately, some taxonomists appear to be unaware that Andres's monograph was published three times, with different paginations, during 1883-1884. Hence, inappropriate versions or dates are not infrequently cited as sources of original descriptions and available names, which has resulted in citations of different page references for the same taxon in various modern publications. The purpose of this paper is to remind taxonomists of the existence of the three versions of Le Attinie (Andres, 1883a, 1883b, 1884); to provide bibliographical descriptions that distinguish them; and to offer guidance on appropriate versions to be cited for different purposes. Although I also list the new scientific names up to the generic level published in Le Attinie, I offer no opinions on their current validity, since this paper addresses bibliographical and nomenclatural aspects of the monograph rather than systematics. R.B. Williams 91 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) THE CONTENTS OF EE ATTINIE Of the 145 authors included in Carlgren's (1949) survey of the sea anemones of the world, a fundamental source for any revisionary work on sea anemones, Andres's name ranks as the fourth most cited (see author index in Williams, 1997); all those citations are from Le Attinie, which was, and still remains, the most comprehensive printed work on the world's sea anemones. It comprises three main parts. The first part is an annotated bibliography of nearly 500 publications on sea anemones from the time of Aristotle to 1882. The second part is a general introduction to anemones, including a history of actinology, a glossary of terms, and anatomical descriptions to facilitate an understanding of the technical descriptions. The third part is a synoptic classification, with descriptions and synonyms of the world's sea anemones. Whilst the whole text constitutes a complete taxonomic monograph of the group, it is supplemented by a series of 13 coloured plates with detailed explanations of each, comprising only those species found within the Bay of Naples; in effect, a monograph within a monograph. This justifies its eventual publication in the series Fauna and Flora des Golfes von Neapel in 1884. Table 1 provides details of the contents and paginations of the three versions of Le Attinie. The title-pages of the second and third versions describe the work as "Volume primo", and it was intended that "II secondo volume [or Memoria] conterra: Anatomia, Istiologia, Embriologia, Fisiologia, Distribuzione e Filogenia delle Attinie" (Andres 1883a: 673; 1883b: [1]; 1884: [XI]). However, no second volume was published. Contemporary opinion was that Andres's classification differed so much from those then existing as to be almost new (Anonymous, 1885). Whilst it is not intended here to enter into any taxonomic discussion, clarification of some aspects of the zoological nomenclature adopted by Andres may be helpful. For instance, the modern taxonomic hierarchy requires that the categories descending from the level of order down to genus should be family, subfamily and tribe, the Latin names of which should have the suffixes -idae, -inae and -ini, respectively (Jeffrey, 1989). However, Andres divided the Actiniaria into seven families with the suffix -inae, with each family divided into subfamilies with the suffix -idae. Confusion may therefore be caused by his reversal of the modern orthography with regard to family and subfamily names. Furthermore, some of Iris families, and even one of his subfamilies, are equivalent to what are now classified as separate orders of the subclass Hexacorallia. It is not always immediately obvious whether the families and subfamilies used by Andres in Le Attinie were new in that work. Some had been published already by other authors, and some by Andres himself in his prodromus of the anemones of the Bay of Naples (Andres, 1880). Hence, only new genera, new species and replacement names are identified herein (Table 2). The 13 beautiful plates are chromolithographs, produced by Werner and Winter of Frankfurt-am-Main (e.g.. Figures 1 and 2). Andres was fiercely protective of his original paintings made from life (as indicated on the plates): "I insist on claiming the absolute and exclusive paternity of my drawings" (translation of Andres, 1883a: 664). He was justly proud of the plates, comparing them (Andres, 1883a: 668) with those in Philip Henry Gosse's classic monograph of the British sea anemones, Actinologia Britannica (Gosse, 1860), which were produced by William Dickes, using the Baxter process (Docker, 1924; Williams, 1988). Indeed, most people familiar with living sea anemones would probably judge many of Andres's paintings to be superior to those by Gosse, which were nevertheless much admired in their time. R.B.

Williams 94 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) LEATTINIE , FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, ROME 1883 The original publication of Le Attinie was as a substantial monographic paper (Andres, 1883a), comprising pages 211-673 of volume 14 of the journal, Atti della Reale Accademia del Lincei , Serie terza , Memorie della Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Tt constituted only a part of the volume; other papers preceded or followed it. The journal was printed by Tipografia Salviucci, and was published by the Reale Accademia dei Lincei in Rome in 1883. The following description is based upon an uncut, unopened copy of the complete journal volume, as issued in original wrappers. Title The paper has no title-page, there being only a dropped-head title on page 211, as follows: I Le Attinie. I Memoria del dott. ANGELO ANDRES I approvata per la stampa negli Atti delT Accademia I nella seduta del 4febbraio 1883. I (Con dodici tavole) I Contents 211-272 Parte prima.

Collational formula The gatherings are numbered, rather than lettered. The words "CLASSE DI SCIENZE FISICHE ecc. - MEMORIE - VOL. XIV 0 . [or sometimes XIV. 0 ]" precede each signature numeral, which distinguishes the sheets from those of the second issue. The formula is presented here as if the preceding and following papers in the journal volume had been removed: 4to: 27 4 (— 27i) 28-84 4 85 4 (-85 2 - 4 ) [$1 signed], 232 leaves. Composition: 211-674 pp; 211-660 [661] 662-673 [674]. Paginated at top centre of pages. Leaf size: 300 x 222 mm (shape ratio 1.35), all edges uncut. Tire original sheet size is about 600 x 444 mm (23.6 x 17.5 inches), which does not, as might be expected, correspond with any nineteenth-century English printing-paper size. Further bibliographical notes Point-holes, when observable, occur at the fore-edge of leaves 3 and 4 of each quarto gathering. The point-hole positions in this Italian printing are different from those in English printing, in which the point-holes occur at the heads, rather than at the fore-edges, of quarto gatherings (Gaskell, 1974, Fig. 47). Although it is stated below the title that there are 12 plates ("con dodici tavole"), there are, in fact, 13 plates; they are described on pages 668-672, with the various figures cross- referenced to the corresponding pages of text-descriptions. Each plate bears five sets of R.B. Williams 95 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) lettering outside the limits of the lithograph. In the top left-hand corner is "Atti dei Lincei. Mem. Cl. sc.fis. ecc. Ser. 3^ Vol.XIV/' In the top right-hand corner is "Andres. Suite Attinie. Tav. I. [or II, III, etc.]" In the bottom left-hand corner is "A.Andres ad viv pinx ." (the positions of full stops are somewhat random). In the bottom right-hand comer is "Werner & Winter, Francoforte 6 /M. lit.” At the bottom centre of each plate are given the genera of the species depicted. Within the image, the anemones on each plate are identified by numbers corresponding with those in the text-descriptions (pages 668-672). Publication date Precise dating of the paper is difficult. The Reale Accademia dei Lincei has no record of the exact date of issue. The title-page of the complete journal volume bears the year 1883. Andres stated that the manuscript was finished by the end of December 1882 (see page 664), and it was approved for printing on 4 February 1883 (see page 211). The most recently approved paper in the complete journal volume is that by Bombicci (1883), approved on 1 April 1883, so Le Attinie was certainly published after that date but before the end of 1883. LEATTINIE, FIRST EDITION, SECOND ISSUE, ROME 1883 The original publication of Le Attinie in Atti della Reale Accademia dei Lincei was reissued in Rome in 1883 as a separate volume by the Reale Accademia dei Lincei (Andres, 1883b). Apart from the addition of two title-pages and a dedication, it is printed from the original typesetting by Tipografia Salviucci, but is repaginated. This description is based upon an uncut, unopened copy of the complete volume, as issued in original beige paper-covered boards. There is a red leather lettering piece with the author and title in gilt on the spine, but it is not certain whether this is original, or a later addition. Title-leaves and dedication The book has two title-leaves. The recto of the first reads: I REALE ACCADEMIA DEI LINCEI I (ANNO CCLXXX 1882-1883) I [67 mm wavy rule] I LE ATTINIE. I MEMORIA I DEL DOTT.

Unlike in the first issue, no lettering precedes the signature numerals. 4to: 7il 2tt 4 l 4 2-57 4 58 2 [$1 signed (-Til, 2nl, li)]. 235 leaves. Composition: X + 460 pp; [I- VII] VIII-X [1-3] 4-460. Paginated at top centre of pages. Leaf size: 300 * 222 mm (shape ratio 1.35), all edges uncut. The original sheet size is the same as that of the first issue, about 600 * 444 mm (23.6 x 17.5 inches). Further bibliographical notes Although the pagination is different, the type-setting of the main text is the same as that of the first issue, judging by comparisons using McKerrow's (1927: 183) transect method. The two issues are both, therefore, impressions of the first edition. This conclusion is supported by the fact that, where observable, the point-holes in the gatherings of this second issue are in the same fore-edge positions as those in the first issue. The paper used for each issue is apparently the same. Comparing one copy each of the two issues, the mean thickness of ten quarto gatherings, chosen to correspond with the same pages of letterpress, was identical (0.0172 inch). Moreover, the plates in the second issue are identical with those in the first issue, and bear the same lettering. Furthermore, the "Correzioni ed aggiunte" (see Table 1) are identical. However, the page references there, and in the "Spegazione delle tavole" and in the indices have been amended as appropriate. Publication date The statement on the verso of the first title-page refers to the previous publication of the monograph in Atti della Reale Accademia del Lincei. This separate issue therefore cannot have been published any earlier than the journal issue, which has been shown to be after 1 April but before the end of 1883. As both issues were printed from the same type-setting, they may have been issued simultaneously, but the separate volume most probably appeared slightly later, as suggested by the addition of the two title-leaves and Andres's dedication to his widowed mother, and the amended page references already mentioned. The author's preface is now dated December 1883 (page X). Furthermore, the incorrect statement in the first issue that the chromolithographs number 12 is corrected to 13. R.B.

It was printed by Tipografia Salviucci (as were both issues of the first edition), but the type has been entirely reset, the layout being markedly different, and the printed area on each page is greatly enlarged. This is, therefore, a second edition. Tire sheet-size is greater than that used for the first edition. Furthermore the paper is thinner; comparing a copy of the second edition with copies of the first and second issues of the first edition, the mean thicknesses of ten quarto gatherings of each edition were 0.0149 inch and 0.0172 inch, respectively (statistically significantly different at PO.OOOl by a Mest). The paper quality is slightly better than that of the first edition, being marginally whiter and less prone to foxing. Three re-bound library copies of the second edition were examined; the gatherings tend to be tightly oversewn, making it difficult to observe conjugacy of leaves in the spine folds. The present description of presumed ideal copy (sensu Gaskell, 1974) is based on a re-bound but uncut example. No primary publisher's binding has yet been identified, and it is not known in what form subscribers' copies were sent out. Title-leaves and dedication The book has two title-leaves, the first in German, the second in Italian. The recto of the first is blank; the verso reads: R.B.

Collational formula Except for the preliminaries, the gatherings are numbered from 1, similarly to the second issue of the first edition. However, in this second edition the words " Fauna e Flora del Golfo di Napoli. IX. Attinie 1°." precede each signature numeral. The tight sewing in the copies examined made it impossible to be entirely certain of the collation of the six preliminary leaves. It was only possible to observe that the fourth and fifth leaves form a conjugate pair. It therefore seems likely that the two title-leaves might also form a conjugate pair, and the remaining four leaves comprise a quarto gathering, in which case the formula would be: 4to: k 2 2 k 4 1-57 4 58 2 [$1 signed (-Til, 27x1)]. 236 leaves. If that formula is correct, gatherings n and 58 may have been printed as a single sheet. Composition: XII + 460 pp; [I-VII] VIII-X [XI-XII] [1] 2-61 [62-63] 64-79 [80-81] 82-450 [451] 452-453 [454-455] 456-459 [460]. Paginated at top centre of pages. Leaf size: 325 * 267 mm (shape ratio 1.22), top edge cut, others uncut. Most copies seen are trimmed all round. The original sheet size is about 650 * 534 mm (25.6 * 21.0 inches), which is larger than, and of different proportions from, the sheets used for the first edition. Further bibliographical notes Although published in Leipzig by Engelmann, the volume was printed as before by Salviucci, possibly because there was too much risk of errors if a German printer had to set so much text in Italian. The page references in the "Correzioni ed aggiunte" (see Table 1) R.B. Williams 102 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) have been amended appropriately, but there are fewer changes than in the first edition issues, some having been incorporated into the main text of this second edition. As in the reissue of the first edition, the statement of the number of plates on the title- pages has been corrected to 13, which are described on pages [455J-459, where the page references to species have been yet again amended, as they have been in the indices. Each plate bears five sets of words outside the limits of the image. In the top left-hand corner is "Fauna u. Flora d. Golfes v. Neapel. IX. Actiniae." In the top right-hand corner is "Taf.l. [or 2, 3, etc.]" In the bottom left-hand comer is "A.Andres ad viv pinx." In the bottom right-hand corner is " Lith Anst. v. Werner & Winter, Frankfurt n /M.” At the bottom centre of each plate is "Verlag [or Verl.\ v. With. Engelmann, Leipzig". Immediately below are the generic names of the species depicted. The use of full-stops in these rubrics is somewhat inconsistent from plate to plate. The numbers that identify the anemones on each plate are the same as those on the plates in the first edition and they correspond with the descriptions of the plates on pages [455]-459. The plates in the second edition are printed on larger paper to match the leaf-size of the letterpress. The Smithsonian Institution copy of the second edition (scanned for the online Biodiversity Heritage Library website) is apparently not "ideal copy" (Gaskell, 1974). It contains leaves not normally present, including an "Editor's Preface" dated March 1884, by Professor Anton Dohrn, the Director of the Zoological Station of Naples. Following that is a "List of Subscribers", accounting for 289 copies. These two items comprise six pages, inserted between pages [VI] and [VII] of the usual preliminaries, i.e., after leaf 2 tt 1. The sewing is tight, but probably the Editor's Preface is a singleton and the List of Subscribers forms a conjugate pair. Confusingly, however, the second page (the only one paginated) of the Editor's Preface is numbered IV, so by inference, the whole insertion is paginated [III], IV, [V-VIII], apparently lacking its first two pages, and interrupts the sequence of the usual preliminaries. Publication date The printer's imprint (p. [VI]) and both of the title-pages bear the date 1884. Andres retained the statement that the manuscript was finished by the end of December 1882, although the author's preface is now dated December 1883 (page X). There is therefore no reasonable doubt that this second edition appeared during the year following the two issues of the first edition. The date on Dohrn' s editor's insertion might suggest that the volume was published some time after 30 March 1884, but most copies examined do not include the insertion; it is by no means certain that all subscribers' copies were issued with it. The Editor's Preface states that "A list of the Monographs in hand is enclosed"; but that list is not present in the Smithsonian Institution copy. Perhaps it forms the missing first two pages of the insertion; I have yet to discover a copy of it, but the search continues. However, it may be that all eight pages of the editor's insertion were sent separately to subscribers, and were not bound into the monograph by the publisher; if so, these additional pages do not help to establish the precise publication date of the monograph. RECOMMENDATIONS From the point of view of nomenclatural priority, citations of original descriptions and available names of new taxa should be taken only from the first issue (Andres, 1883a) of the R.B. Williams 103 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) first edition of Le Attinie. Citations of the second issue (Andres, 1883b), although also published in 1883, are inappropriate for the purpose of priority; the differences in pagination cause confusion when tracing particular references, even though the text is virtually identical with that of the first issue. For descriptions of species and general bibliographical information, the first edition (either of the issues of 1883) or the second edition (1884) are appropriate sources, although they should be clearly differentiated because all three versions are differently paginated, as shown in Tables- 1 and 2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am extremely grateful to Dott. Luciano Gobbi of Verona for translating Andres's preface into English. Leslie Overstreet kindly examined the copy of the second edition scanned by the Smithsonian Institution Libraries for the BHL to confirm my observations on the online version.

APPENDIX A practical example of the value of the foregoing bibliographical descriptions is provided by an examination of the scans of the copy of Le Attinie made by the MBLWHOI Library, Woods Hole (MA, USA), for the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). That copy is purported on the BHL website to be published in 1884 as volume 9 of the series Fauna und Flora des Golfes von Neapel by W. Engelmann of Leipzig, i.e., the second edition. The first page is a general undated title-page for the series: I FAUNA UND FLORA I DES GOLFES VON NEAPEL I UND DER I ANGRENZENDEN MEERES-ABSCHNITTE I HERAUSGEGEBEN I VON DER I ZOOLOGISCHEN STATION ZU NEAPEL.

I However, even without the book in one's hands, examination of the subsequent scanned pages including two more title pages, both dated 1883, reveals that this copy is in truth an example of the second issue of the first edition, as evidenced by the relevant bibliographical points in the text and the plates. It is clear that it is not as issued; a spurious German title-page has been inserted, and the plates are mis-bound in the order 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 5 (badly damaged), 13, with plate 4 missing. Definitive evidence for the re- binding is provided by an embossed stamp on a blank page at the end: I HAND BOUND BY I TALIN BOOKBINDERY I CAPE COD I It is notable that the inserted general title-page for the Fauna und Flora des Golfes von Neapel series is not present in the three copies of the genuine second edition that I examined for this study, nor does it occur in the copy scanned by the Smithsonian Institution Libraries for the BHL.

ABSTRACT: Temminck's and Schlegel's Fauna Japonica: Aves appeared in 12 livraisons over six years. This work includes descriptions of many new bird taxa and these can date from the text, or a plate or both together. Exact dating of each livraison is thus important for ornithological nomenclature, as is certainty over the contents. While the dating of livraisons was appropriately summarized by Holthuis & Sakai (1970), they sometimes remained ignorant as to which pages and which plates appeared in which livraison. Here new data, derived from old German sources, is presented on the contents of most livraisons. Many new bird taxa first appeared in, and were named on, the plates, and only later in the text. Thus the publishing dates of a number of taxa are corrected. The name Emberiza sulphured is shown to have precedence over Emberiza sulphurata, but it is a nomen oblitum. In a few cases accepted type series need to be corrected to recognise a holotype where the depiction on a captioned plate preceded the text description referring to a series. KEYWORDS: Temminck, Schlegel, Fauna Japonica, composition of livraisons, publication dates, bibliographic sources (Germany), Aves, nomenclature, types. INTRODUCTION During 1827-1835, the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, The Netherlands, received numerous skins of birds through the activities of Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold (1796-1866), who stayed in Japan from 1823 until 1829, and Heinrich Burger (1804/1806-1858), who stayed there from 1825 until 1835 (Dekker et al. 2001). They allowed a first insight by western ornithologists into the avifauna of Japan, a country which was almost closed to western nations at that time (Holthuis & Sakai 1970, Goodman 2000). The ornithological collection was studied by Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1778-1858), director of the Rijksmuseum and Hermann Schlegel (1804-1884), curator of the Rijksmuseum 's vertebrate collections. Most of the results of their studies were published in the series Fauna Japonica, edited or at least supervised by von Siebold, one volume of which was devoted to birds and called "Aves", and this comprised a series of 12 livraisons (fascicles). Due to historical reasons, the dating of these livraisons is uncertain and doubt attached to how many text pages exactly were published in each livraison and which plates appeared with them (Morioka & Dickinson 2011). Previously, Sherborn & Jentink (1895) published dates of appearance of the 12 ornithological livraisons, but did not comment on the extent of each livraison or on the plates included in them. Holthuis & Sakai (1970) presented new data on the appearance of the ornithological livraisons and suggested in which livraisons several plates were included. Morioka & Dickinson (2011, Table 16) presented a summary of these data. Jin Mlikovsky 106 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Temminck and Schlegel named many new bird taxa in the Fauna Japonica: Aves. The names appeared both in the text and on plates. It is thus important for ornithological nomenclature to know exact dates of appearance of each livraison and to know which text pages and which plates were included in each livraison (Dekker et al. 2001, Morioka et at. 2005; see also van den Hoek Ostende et al. 1997, Dekker 2003, Dekker & Quaisser 2006). Below data discovered in 19th century publications is given which provides us with knowledge of the extent and content of most ornithological livraisons of the Fauna Japonica. All dates are given in the Gregorian calendar (Mlikovsky 2010) and nomenclatural issues are discussed in the context of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999; hereafter the Code). TEXT PAGES 1 The following data are available: Livraison 1: six bogen (Gersdorf 1845: 111, Brandes 1845a: col. 861, Anonymous 1845: 243). Livraison 2: five bogen (Gersdorf 1845: 352, Brandes 1845b: col. 1086). Livraison 3: three bogen (Gersdorf 1847: 524, Muhlmann 1847: 155). Livraison 4: one bogen (Gersdorf 1848a: 139). Livraison 5: pp. 61-68 (Gersdorf 1848b: 69-70). Livraisons 6-8: pp. 69-92 (Gersdorf 1849a: 59). Livraisons 9-10: pp. 69-108 [sic] (Gersdorf 1849b: 238). Livraison 11: no data. Livraison 12: pp. 121-141 (Gersdorf 1850: 312). A comparison of Gersdorf s data shows that livraisons 1-4 were comprised of 15 bogen = 60 pages. This means that 1 bogen = 4 pages, which agrees with signature marks printed in the book, and as is normal with a folio format. This finding allows us to translate the number of bogen into pages for livraisons 1-4 (see Table 1) and to check whether page numbers given for other livraisons fit the number of bogen. This comparison provides good fits for livraisons 5 (two bogen), 6-8 (six bogen each) and 12 (five bogen). Page numbers given by Gersdorf (1849b: 238) for livraisons 9-10 include an evident misprint, because they overlap with page numbers for livraisons 6-8. Correcting the starting page number from "69” to the expected "93" shows that these livraisons included pp. 93-108, i.e. four bogen. No data are available for livraison 11 , but as the last page number from livraison 10 and the first page number of livraison 12 are known, livraison 11 must have included pp. 109-120, i.e. three bogen. Sherborn & Jentink (1895: 149) argued that livraison 1 included 28 pages, i.e. seven bogen, because Gray (Sep. 1845) quoted p. 25 of Fauna Japonica: Aves and because they believed that livraison 2 appeared in 1847. However, Holthuis & Sakai (1970) showed that livraison 2 appeared not later than on 14 July 1845, i.e. before Gray's paper. Gersdorf (1845: Til), Brandes (1845a: col. 861) and Anonymous (1845: 243) said that livraison 1 consisted of six bogen, which makes 24 pages (see above), and Wagner (1845: 47) said that livraison 1 ends with Pernis apivorus, which appeared on p. 24. Thus we may conclude that livraison 1 contained 24 pages. Sherborn & Jentink (1895: 149) argued that livraison 3 ended with page 60, quoting "Wiegm. Arch. 1847 (ii.), p. 7" [= Hartlaub 1848: 7-8] as the source of this information. They were probably misled by Hartlaub's statement that "Wir haben iiber zwei neue Lieferungen des ornithologischen Theils der 'Fauna Japonica' zu berichten.” ("We will report on two new livraisons of the ornithological part of 'Fauna Japonica"'.). Hartlaub's (1848) report was preceded by Wagner's (1845) report on livraison 1 and Sherborn & Jentink (1895) thus 1 See Table 1 for a summary of the data. Jiri Mlikovsky 107 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) presumably thought that Hartlaub (1848) had livraisons 2 and 3 in mind (Hartlaub did not mention the livraison numbers he had at hand). However, a comparison with Gersdorf's reports (Gersdorf 1845, 1847, 1848a,b, 1849a) clearly shows that Hartlaub (1848) reported on livraisons 3 and 4. Livraison 2 was not mentioned in Wagner's and later Hartlaub's annual literary reports published in the Archiv fiirNaturgeschichte (Wagner 1845, 1846, Hartlaub 1847, 1848, 1849, 1850, 1851). Sherborn & Jentink's (1895) misinterpretation of Hartlaub's (1848) statement probably influenced their further interpretation of the extent of livraisons, which in turn influenced Morioka & Dickinson (2011, Table 16) who assigned page numbers to individual livraisons on "the presumption [...] that livraisons 4 to 11 were each of 8 pages", adding that "this fits the few facts but is unproven." PLATES The following data are available: Livraison 1: nine species listed by name (Wagner 1845: 47), 10 plates, but no plate numbers or depicted species names were listed (Gersdorf 1845: 111, Brandes 1845a: col. 861, Anonymous 1845: 243). Livraison 2: 10 plates; no plate numbers or depicted species names listed (Gerdorf 1845: 351). Livraison 3: 10 plates; no plate numbers or depicted species names listed (Gersdorf 1847: 524, Muhlmann 1847: 155, Anonymous 1848: 151). Livraison 3-4: 18 species listed by name, sex and age; plate number 22 given for Zosterops japonicus (Hartlaub 1848: 7-8, 17). Livraison 4: nine species listed by name (Gersdorf 1848a: 139). Livraison 5: ten species listed by name and plate number (Gersdorf 1848b: 69-70). Livraison 6-8: 30 species listed by name and plate number (Gersdorf 1849a: 59). Livraison 9-10: 20 plates; no plate numbers or depicted species names listed (Gersdorf 1849b: 238). Livraison 11: no data. Livraison 12: nine species listed by name and plate number (Gersdorf 1850: 312). In livraison 1, Falco tinnunculus japonicus was illustrated on two plates (pis. 1-2), which explains the discrepancy between nine figured species (Wagner 1845) and ten plates (Gersdorf 1845). I found no list of plates included in livraison 2, but full lists are available for livraisons 1 and 3-10 (see above). Comparing these, exactly ten early plates remain unmentioned (see Tab. 1 for their list). I consider it safe to assume that these ten plates were issued as livraison 2. Hartlaub (1848) listed 18 species as illustrated in livraisons 3 and 4, but did not say which of them appeared in livraison 3 and which in livraison 4. The last nine of these 18 species were listed by Gersdorf (1848a) as from livraison 4, which leaves the first nine species of those listed by Hartlaub (1845) for livraison 3. One of them, Corvus dauuricus, was illustrated on two plates (pis. 40-41), which makes the expected ten plates per livraison. Two plates, labeled A and B, respectively, were added to livraison 3 (they were listed by Hartlaub 1848: 8, but not by Gersdorf 1848a: 139), presumably as a bonus. They showed a bird from Korea (A) 2 and another one from China (B). livraison 3 thus consisted of ten plates with Japanese birds and of two plates of other birds. Gersdorf (1848a) listed nine species as illustrated in livraison 4. One of them, Turdus cardis, was illustrated on two plates (pi. 29-30), which makes the expected ten plates 2 This plate shows Pitta nympha Temminck & Schlegel from Korea, subsequently discovered in Japan (Brazil 1991), but not known from there at the time of Temminck and Schlegel. Jiri Mlikovsky 108 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) per livraison. Gersdorf (1850) listed nine species with plate numbers for livraison 12. One of them. Anas formosa was published on two plates (pis. 82b and 82c), as correctly listed by Gersdorf, which makes the expected ten plates per livraison. No lists of species described or of birds depicted could be found for livraisons 9-11. However, lists of plates are known for livraisons 1, 3-8 and 12, and one can be inferred for livraison 2, which leaves exactly 30 plates for these three livraisons. See Table 1 for the list of these. DATING LIVRAISONS Most dates given by Sherborn & Jentink (1895), Kuroda (1934) 3 , Esaki (1935) 4 and Holthuis & Sakai (1970) agree with each other and with those given by Gersdorf (1845, 1847, 1848a,b, 1850), but some discrepancies require comment. Livraison 1: Sherborn & Jentink (1895) and Esaki (1935) dated this livraison from 1844, while Holthuis & Sakai (1970) recorded that Rijksarchief sent copies to Dutch depository libraries on 14 July 1845, i.e. on the same day as livraison 2. The only indication that livraison 1 might have existed before 1845 is Wagner's (1845: 47) listing it the Archiv fur Naturgeschichte among ornithological works that appeared in 1844. However, annual reports on ornithology published in this Archiv were not limited to the target year, but included some younger works which reached the complier before he finished the manuscript (Mathews 1922, Mlikovsky 2012). The mere listing of a work in Wagner's (1845) report thus cannot be accepted as evidence that the work was published in the given year. Holthuis & Sakai (1970) observed that livraisons 1 and 2 were dispatched by the Rijksarchief on the same day (14 July 1845), but data from the Leipziger Repertorium do not agree with this. Reports in Gersdorf appeared usually about two months after the livraisons were dispatched by the Rijksarchief (see Table 1; livraisons 2, 3 and 5). This delay seems reasonable considering that each livraison had to be delivered from Leiden (where it was published) to Leipzig (where Gersdorf's Leipziger Repertorium was published), which is approximately 550 km away, and that each livraison had then to be assessed and the Repertorium printed. Gersdorf (1845: 111) reported on livraison 1 in an issue of the Leipziger Repertorium published on 18 July 1845, i.e. only four days after this livraison was dispatched by the Rijksarchief. This suggests that Gersdorf or his staff may have received a copy of livraison 1 earlier, seemingly well before this livraison was officially dispatched by the Rijksarchief to Dutch depository libraries. Considering the intervals between Rijksarchief and Repertorium dates, that copy of livraison 1 may have been made available in May or June 1845. Nevertheless, there is no "proof" for this scenario so that the date of publication for the purposes of zoological nomenclature remains 14 July 1845, as given by Holthuis & Sakai (1970). Livraison 4: Sherborn & Jentink (1895) and Esaki (1935) said that this livraison appeared in 1848, but Holthuis & Sakai (1970) documented that the Rijksarchief dispatched it to Dutch depository libraries already on 6 October 1847. Gersdorf (1848a: 139) reported on this livraison in the issue of the Leipziger Repertorium published on 28 January 1848. Considering the delay between the Rijksarchief and Repertorium dates, plus Christmas time in this case. 3 Kuroda (1934) explicitly used the data from Sherborn & Jentink (1895) and Hartert (1903-1922). 4 Esaki (1935) seems to have used mainly the data from Sherborn & Jentink (1895) (Mori oka & Dickinson 2011: 156). Jin Mlikovsky 109 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Gersdorf's date is in good agreement with the date found by Holthuis & Sakai (1970). Livraisons 6-8: The Rijksarchief dispatched these three livraisons to Dutch depository libraries on three different dates spanning seven months: 29 April, 8 November and 27 November 1848, respectively (Holthuis & Sakai 1970). Despite this, evidence suggests these three livraisons were probably distributed to other libraries (at least those lying outside of the Netherlands) in one despatch, because of the five journals in which a notice was found for these livraisons , three reported them all in one account (Gersdorf 1849a: 59, Weigel 1849: 15, Anonymous 1849: col. 62 5 ), while two (Brandes 1848: col. 1035, Graevell 1850: 50) made mention of only livraisons 7-8 with no comment on livraison 6. It is unclear why shipping of livraison 6 to foreign libraries was delayed by seven months; but perhaps disturbances in the revolutionary year 1848 (Langer 1971, Sperber 2005) were the reason. Nevertheless, the dates listed by Holthuis & Sakai (1970) should be accepted as the publication dates for the purposes of zoological nomenclature. Livraison 10: Sherborn & Jentink (1895) and Esaki (1935) dated this part from 1849 and Holthuis & Sakai (1970) recorded that the Rijksarchief sent copies to Dutch depository libraries on 13 October 1849. Gersdorf (1849b: 238) reported on this livraison in die issue (presumably published in August 1849) in which obituaries of persons deceased in the period 23 May - 28 June 1849 were listed (Gersdorf 1849b: 244-24S) 6 . Livraison 10 could thus have appeared as early as July 1849. There is, however, no proof for this and 13 October 1849 should be accepted as the date of publication for the purposes of zoological nomenclature. Livraison 11 is somewhat enigmatic. Sherborn & Jentink (1895) and Esaki (1935) dated it from 1849, probably because Hartlaub (1850: 49) listed livraison 11 in his report for 1849 together with livraisons 9 and 10. However, this does not provide a proof that livraison 11 appeared in 1849, because Hartlaub is known to have included in his annual reports works published after the target year, but known to him before he finished that report (Mathews 1922, Mlikovsky 2012). Holthuis & Sakai (1970) recorded that livraison 11 was dispatched by the Rijksarchief on 10 April 1850, i.e. on the same day as livraison 12. However, it is apparent that Hartlaub (1850) knew livraison 11, but not yet livraison 12. Gersdorf omitted to register livraison 11 in Leipziger Repertorium for some unknown reason. Hartlaub's (1850) listing provides evidence that livraison 11 was published earlier than livraison 12, however both should be deemed as having been published on 10 April 1850, as recorded by Holthuis & Sakai 1970, for the purposes of zoological nomenclature. NOMENCLATURAL CONSEQUENCES New data revealing which pages and which plates belonged to which livraison (or a group of livraisons) have the following nomenclatural consequences (see Table 2). Nothing changes for species and subspecies described in the text, but not illustrated on plates, or for those species that were described on text pages and illustrated on plates included in a the same livraison or in a single group of livraisons, where better data are not available yet. 5 Note that this column number is misprinted as "72" in the journal. 6 Preceding set of obituaries included persons deceased in the period 7 April - 25 May 1849 (Gersdorf 1849b: 118-120); subsequent set those deceased in the period 2 June - 3 July 1849, but including a few earlier obituaries (Gersdorf 1849b: 310-312). Jin Mlikovsky 110 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Two species-group names, Buteo hemilasius and Grits cinerea longirostris, were named in the text and their illustration appeared in a later livraison. Both of these species were based upon holotypes (van den Hoek Ostende et al. 1997). They should be cited from the text pages, but this observation has no other nomenclatural consequences. Overall, 28 species-group names were first published on plates and respective descriptions appeared in later livraisons (see Table 2 for their list). These taxa thus must be cited from the plates. In all of these cases, the type series consists only of those specimens illustrated on the plates (Art. 72.5.6 of the Code), not of all specimens available to Temminck and Schlegel. Taxa based upon holotypes are not affected, but type series must be reconsidered where these taxa were believed to be based upon a series of specimens (see van den Hoek Ostende et ah 1997, Dekker 2003, Dekker & Quaisser 2006). Three taxa ( Platalea major , Platalea minor and Fulica atra japonica) were figured on plates published in livraison 9, 10 or 11 and described in the text included in livraison 11 (see Table 2). Until it is known which plates were issued in which of these livraisons, the plates and text should be considered to have been published simultaneously and dated 1850. Temminck and Schlegel described Pyrrhuta sanguinolenta on p. 92 (which appeared in livraison 6, 7 or 8) and figured it on pi. 54 ( livraison 5) and 54b ( livraison 9, 10 or 11). This species thus should be dated from pi. 54, which appeared in 1848. Temminck and Schlegel called a new Strix species Strix rufescens in the text (p. 30) and Strix fuscescens on the plate (pi. 10), which were published simultaneously in livraison 2. Sharpe (1875a: 256, footnote), acting as the First Reviser (Art. 24.2.2 of the Code), gave precedence to rufescens. Slightly later, Sharpe (1875b: 256, footnote) gave precedence to fuscescens, but his selection of rufescens has precedence. Dekker et al. (2001: 206) argued that the plate appeared later than the text and that rufescens thus has priority, which is not supported by the dating of the plates made here. Strix rufescens Temminck & Schlegel, 1845 is a junior primary homonym of Strix rufescens Horsfield (1821: 140) = Otus rufescens (Horsfield). If recognized as a taxon, this owl should be called fuscescens, as it is in current practice (e.g. Peters 1940: 164, Morioka et al. 2005: 41, Dickinson 2003: 229). Temminck and Schlegel called a new Emberiza species Emberiza sulphurata in the text (p. 100) and Emberiza sulphurea on the plate (pi. 60). The plate appeared in livraison 5, which was published at latest on 8 February 1848, while the text appeared in livraison 9 or 10, i.e. in July or October 1849. The name Emberiza sulphurea thus has precedence over Emberiza sulphurata. Morioka & Dickinson (2011: 156) correctly mentioned that the species has always been called sulphurata in literature. This usage must be maintained, because sulphurea was not used as a valid name for this species after 1899 to the best of my knowledge (Art. 23.9.1 of the Code), while sulphurata was used for this species as a valid name in more than 24 works, published by more than nine authors in the immediately preceding 50 years and encompassing a span of not less than 10 years (Art. 23.9.2 of the Code). The required references are as follows: Macfarlane 1963, Paynter 1970, Voous 1977, Brazil 1991, 2009, Watada et al. 1995, Tomek 1997, 2002, Hotta & Ezaki 2000, Kennedy et al. 2000, MacKinnon & Phillipps 2000, Chen & Peterson 2002, Dickinson 2003, Ichiro & Daihachi 2003, Shiu & Lee 2003, Broad & Oliveros 2004, Elsukov & Red'kin 2005, Fukui et al. 2005, Zheng 2005, Allen et al. 2006, Xiong et al. 2006, Minegishi 2007, Moores 2007,01iveros et al. 2008, Lin et al. 2011, Madge 2011. Consequently, Emberiza sulphurea becomes a nomen oblitum and Emberiza sulphurata becomes a nomen protectum. Temminck & Schlegel (1850: 123, pi. 79) called one species Uria umisuzume. This is an incorrect subsequent spelling (Art. 33.3, ICZN, 1999) and is not an available name because Jiri Mlikovsky 111 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) the original name was Uria wumisuzume Temminck (in Temminck & Laugier 1836: text to pi. 579). Temminck and Schlegel called a new cormorant species Carbo filamentosus in the text (p. 129) and Carbo capillatus on the plates (pi. 83 and 83b). These plates were published in livraisons 9, 10 or 11, while the page appeared in livraison 12, i.e. later. The name capillatus thus has precedence over filamentosus. No nomenclatural action is necessary, because capillatus is in prevailing use for this species. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I thank two anonymous referees for helpful comments.

ABSTRACT: It had been doubted that printed wrappers existed for the parts of Wolters's Vogelarten der Erde, but evidence is presented that is taken from such wrappers. Seasonal dates on these do not contradict the dates per part provided with the preliminary pages integral to part 7. Comments are offered on three of the 17 new names Wolters introduced. KEYWORDS: Wolters, Vogelarten der Erde, original wrappers, dates of publication, new genera, new subgenera, nomina nova. WRAPPERS Hans Edmund Wolters (1915-1991), a well-known German ornithologist, published Die Vogelarten der Erde, a check-list of the birds of the world, in 1975-1982, in which he named several new taxa. This work is known to have been published in several parts (liefer ungen). Van den Elzen (2011) cautioned readers that she believed wrappers of these parts were unknown and that it had been suggested that they were "plain envelopes with no title, date or other information printed on them". If so the dates given on the verso of the title page would have to be relied upon although, with the exception of the final issue, these are not "specified dates" in the meaning of the Code (Art. 21.2, ICZN, 1999). The Department of Zoology of the National Museum in Prague, Czech Republic, and the Department of Vertebrates of the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium, possess full sets of the parts of Wolters's Vogelarten in original wrappers. An examination of these wrappers removes any doubts regarding the dating of these parts. The title page of each wrapper includes the full title and subtitle of the book, the name of the publisher ("Paul Parey"), the number of die part (e.g. "2. Eieferung") and the number of bogen in that part (e.g. "Bogen 6-10"). Tire second page of each wrapper (the verso of the part title page) includes a Foreword ("Geleitwort"). The foreword in the first lieferung is dated June 1975; forewords in other parts are undated. The third page of each wrapper is the copyright page, which includes copyright date (year only) - these are the "specified dates" applicable to each part. The fourth page of each wrapper includes advertisements for other publications by Verlag Paul Parey. Prices are given for each advertised work and the list ends with an indication of the period of validity of the pricing ("Preisstand"). The book was published in seven parts (liefer ungen); pages i-xx were included in part 7. The details of their dates for publication are given in Table 1. Months of publication of each part are given on the verso of the title page of the whole book (issued with part 7). These dates reasonably agree with the "Preisstand" dates given on each wrapper. A list of new taxa introduced by Wolters in his Vogelarten is given on p. 452 and month and year of publication Jifi Mlikovsky 119 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) is given for each name. These dates agree with those given for individual lieferungen on the verso of its title page. Thus, the year of publication of each lieferung can be found on its wrapper. Months of publication were added in part 7. I am not aware of any delays in the publication of the lieferungen. Hence, there is no reason to use dates other than those published on the verso of the title page of the whole book (see Table 1). NOMENCLATURAL NOTES Wolters (1975-1982) here described 14 new genera or subgenera, all of them in accordance with the Code (ICZN 1999). In addition, he created three replacement names (one generic and two subspecific). These are listed in Table 2. Three of Wolters's names require comments, as follows. 1. Wolters (1979: 253) introduced Oenositta as follows: "Genus Oenositta nom. nov. (fur Orthorhynchus Swainson, 1820, Zoological Illustrations III. Ser. 1. Taf. 2, nec Cuvier, 1800, und Dendrophila Swainson, 1837 [VII], On the natural history and classification of birds, vol. II, p. 318, nec Hodgson, 1837 [IV], Madras Journal V, p. 432), Wolters, VI, 1979." Thus, noting that the name Dendrophila Swainson (1837: 318) is preoccupied by Dendrophila Hodgson he proposed Oenositta as a new name for that and for Orthorhynchus Swainson (1820: text to pi. 2) 1 . Obviously, a nomen novum can replace only a single name, not two or more (Art. 13.1.1, ICZN, 1999), so it is appropriate to explore the reference to Orthorynchus Swainson (1820). Tins name appeared in the synonymy of Sitta frontalis as " Orthorynchus frontalis. Horsfield in Linn. Trans.". However, Horsfield (1821) did not use the name so Orthorynchus could only have been made available from Swainson (1820) by its subsequent use, before 1961, as valid under the provisions of Art. 11.6.1 (ICZN, 1999). Its listing by Richmond (1917: 611) and Neave (1940: 474) in their lists of generic names did not make it available and no usage of its as valid has been traced. Orthorynchus Swainson is thus a nomen nudum. This makes Dendrophila Swainson, 1837 the only available name which Oenositta Wolters, 1979 could have replaced. The type of Dendrophila Swainson is, by subsequent designation (Gray 1840: 18), Sitta frontalis Swainson (1820: text to pi. 2). In summary, Oenositta Wolters, 1979 is a new replacement name for Dendrophila Swainson, 1837 and its type species is, by definition, Sitta frontalis Swainson, 1820. 2. Wolters (1980: 401 fn) argued that Pachycephala dubia Ramsay (1879: 99) is a junior secondary homonym of Motacilla dubia "Shaw & Nodder, 1811" = Shaw in Shaw & Nodder (1811: [941]) 2 , because the latter is a junior synonym of Muscicapa pectoralis Latham (1801: li) = Pachycephala pectoralis pectoralis (Latham). However, dubia Shaw has never been combined with the genus Pachycephala Vigors (1825: 444) and thus does not preoccupy dubia Ramsay (Art. 53.3, ICZN, 1999). Pachycephala dubia Ramsay, 1879 was created as a new replacement name for Eopsaltria brunnea Ramsay (1876: 391), which is a junior secondary homonym of Pachycephala brunnea Wallace (1865: 478). 1 See Dickinson (2011) for the dating of this work. 2 See Dickinson et al. (2006) for the authorship of names published in Shaw & Nodder's Naturalists' Miscellany. Jiri Mlikovsky 120 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) 3. Wolters (1980: 405 fn) wrote: "Typus von Otocichla ist Turdus mupinensis Laubmann, 1920 = Turdus auritus Verreaux, Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. 6, p. 34 (1871)". This statement is sufficient for accepting Turdus mupinensis Laubmann (1920: 17) as type, by original designation, of the genus Otocichla Wolters, because mupinenis was created as a new replacement name for Turdus auritus Verreaux (1871: 34).

Gregory & Edward C. Dickinson COPYRIGHT: © 2012 Gregory & Dickinson.

ABSTRACT: Information regarding Lesson's Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Epimaques is assembled and re-evaluated. It is concluded that the separately paged Synopsis did not appear first and that it is best to assume it appeared last. This affects the dating of two generic names in use today; also, when assumed to require dating from the main text, the spelling of one of these names requires correction. KEYWORDS: generic names, birds-of-paradise, livraison, dates of publication, original spelling. During the course of work on the generic names to be used in the forthcoming second volume of the 4th edition of The Howard & Moore Complete Checklist of Birds of the World it was noticed that two genera, both supposedly from the Synopsis that either followed or preceded the main work, were dated one year apart (Diphyllodes Lesson, 1834 and Seleucidis Lesson, 1835). The work in question is the Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Epimaques by R.P. Lesson, which was probably issued in at least sixteen livraisons during 1834 and 1835. The main work contains 248 pages beginning with an Introduction and ending with an Index Synonymique, a Table des Planches and a Table des Matieres. The title pages and Preface , which is dated 10 April 1835, constitute a further eight pages; the Synopsis , not included above, contains 34 pages, numbered 1 to 34. The Synopsis appears to be in two sections, but these merely echo the split in the main work between ' Famille des Paradisiers' and the 'Famille des Epimaques', and the text split between these occurs within the third signature or gathering. At the end of the main work, the Table des Matieres places the Synopsis before the main text, however, understanding the true position of the Synopsis is key to dating these two names and, as usual, while this represents the intended sequence for binding, it should not be seen as reflecting publication sequence. Sherborn (1925, 1930) dated these two names as follows: Diphyllodes R.P. Lesson, H. N. Oiseaux de Paradis (1) July 1834, 16.— A. [Source: Index Animalium, Part viii, Nov., 1925] Seleucidis R.P. Lesson, H. N. Oiseaux de Paradis (2) Sept. 1834, 28.— A. [Source: Index Animalium Part xxiii. Sept., 1930] In both instances the page number that he cited relates to a page in the Synopsis. Mayr (1962) cited Seleucidis Lesson from 'Hist. Nat. Ois. Parad., Synopsis , p. 28, pi. 35/, and dated it 1835; he cited Diphyllodes Lesson from 'Hist. Nat. Ois. Parad., Synopsis, p. 16/ and dated that 1834. These two dates were repeated by Dickinson (2003) in The Howard & Moore Complete Checklist of Birds of the World, 3rd edition. Sherborn (1922: lxxx), undoubtedly drawing on the Bibliographie de la France, wrote that this work probably appeared "in 16 pts. of which 1-4, pp. 1-64, 1834; 5-7, 65-112, 1835; as all Steven M.S. Gregory & Edward C. Dickinson 124 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) n. spp. are in the Synopsis there is no difficulty as to dates". The gatherings were of eight pages (see Table 1), so Sherborn's figures suggest that each livraison was of 2 gatherings — although the announcements referred to "une feuille" — and that he must have seen these parts in the form in which they were issued or have been specifically informed to this effect. Sixteen such parts would account for 256 pages and would fit with the main text, but could not accommodate the Synopsis. We examined the Bibliographie de la France, extracting the information given below, and found no further parts reported after the issue in early February 1835 and none are given in the volumes from 1836 to 1839. This may not imply a long gap in publication, but rather that the publisher had ceased to bother, or had perhaps forgotten, to inform the editors of the Bibliographie de la France. Table 1. Dates of reported publication of the first seven livraisons and their stated content. Livr. Bibliographie de la France Sherborn's Vol. Entry Date of issue Feuilles Planches pagination 1 1834 3669 5 Jul. ’34 1 4 1-16 2 1834 5227 27 Sep. '34 1 4 17-32 3 1834 5764 25 Oct.

'35 1 4 97-112 It would be typical that the Preface to a work like this would have been written after the work was complete (which might be before or after an associated Synopsis). The fact that Sherbom (1922) reported continuous pagination through the first seven livraisons seems to sufficiently prove that the Synopsis did not appear first as Sherborn (1925, 1930) apparently presumed. It is then reasonable to assume that the Synopsis, with both sections published together, followed the completion of the main text and that these two new generic names first appeared within the main body of the work ( Diphyllodes on page 189; Seleucides [sic] on page 227) and certainly neither can be dated earlier than 1835. Note that in the Synopsis these names are spelled Diphyllodes and Seleucidis and on the basis of the evidence given here, the latter should be seen as either an unjustified emendation or an incorrect subsequent spelling. The possibility that the two spellings appeared in the same livraison is very small and unless that is shown to be what occurred there is no need for a First Reviser to determine the spelling to be used. The evidence assessed here supports the conclusion in Priority! The Dating of Scientific Names in Ornithology (Dickinson et al., 2011: 121-122), where it was argued that it would be "safer to use 1835 for all new names in the Synopsis unless any also appear in pp. 1-64". It should be apparent that the pp. 1-64 referred to there are from the main work and not from the Synopsis. We conclude, therefore, that the correct citations for these two genera are not as has previously been stated, but are both to be dated from 1835 as follows: Steven M.S. Gregory & Edward C. Dickinson 125 Zoological Bibliography 2012 2(2&3) Diphyllodes Lesson, 1835 M Hist. Nat. Ois. Paradis, p. 189.

Type by monotypy Seleucides acanthilis Lesson, 1835 = Paradisea melanoleuca Daudin, 1800 Seleucides melanoleucus (Daudin, 1800) Seleucidis, the spelling in the 'Synopsis' (p. 28) is an unjustified emendation or incorrect subsequent spelling.

BOOKS FROM AYES PRESS Published November 2011 "The first 60 pages, dealing with the Code (discussing and elucidating specific articles), and with the historical background of printing and publishing, and how to date publications, are of considerable general interest to all zoologists. These are followed by almost 200 pages of . . . problematic publications, with discussion of, and in many cases solutions to, the associated problems. . . . Many of the problematic publications resolved here also deal with taxonomic groups other than birds, increasing the book's breadth of usefulness. ... I feel that, with the modern information tools and bibliographic and archival sources, now is the time to be cleaning up the nomenclatural messes of the past, and the entire zoological community, whether they know it or not, owes a debt of gratitude to those who are doing it. I think that this book belongs on the shelf of anyone with an interest in nomenclature or historical bibligraphy." Extracts from: Max Barclay in the Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 69 (1): 81-82 . For publication February 2013 (Vol. 1: Non-Passerines) The fourth edition of The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World has been updated to reflect the considerable change in our understanding of the evolution of birds derived from the study of their DNA over the past decade; thus the Cracraft sequence, adopted in 2003, is completely revised here. The new edition also reflects revisions to species limits and includes newly discovered species and subspecies. For each genus, type designation details are now given, and superspecies groups are frequently mentioned in the footnotes. Evaluation, as before, is based on the Biological Species Concept, carefully and conservatively applied. Range statements have been totally revised, particularly for the Americas. Overall the number of footnotes and references cited nearly doubles. Volume 1 includes a tear-off sheet that can be sent to the editors to request a licence to obtain free downloads of planned regular updates. Volume 2 (Passerines) is in preparation and scheduled for June 2013.

Dowsctt mtil Murray D. limey ISBN 978-0-956861 1-1-5 RRP £80.00 Instructions for Authors Authors wishing to publish in this journal are invited to use the Aves Press website to reach the editor with an outline proposal giving the title, authors, draft abstract, expected page requirements and needs for illustration, on a single page if possible. If the subject is not obviously connected to zoological bibliography then the proposal should explain the relevance. This journal does not carry original descriptions of taxa that are being newly proposed; by contrast proposals of nomina nova and most other nomenclatural acts will be welcome, and by the provision of printed depository copies, will be within the prescriptions of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The single spaced manuscript should be submitted by e-mail as a Word ® document or in RTF format. Even short papers should include an abstract and keywords (max. 8). Subheadings in bold type are encouraged. Footnotes are permitted; end notes are not. Use automatic footnote numbering page by page. References: should not be abbreviated; pagination should be given in expanded form (e.g. not x, 500 but i-x, 1-500); italics should be used for book titles but not volume numbers, when citing periodicals use italics for the journal name not the article title.
