    By the way, I still lack an explanation for the "two versions" conundrum in the "thirteenth" ed. (Gmelin), which we ran into here. If anyone has a suggestion...

    Using this as a guide : (It seems the Google link I gave yesterday was actually to the seventh ed., which appeared on the same year and is presented as "secundum sextam editionem", i.e., following the sixth ed. -- sorry about this.) (This file suggests an 11th edition published in 1762 in...

    Now, the apparition of "Procellaria" in Linnaeus' publications was actually earlier than the 6th ed. of Systema naturae. Linnaeus already had this name in the 1st ed. of Fauna svecica (which did appear in 1746, so maybe Coues was mixing up the two works) : (1746) - Caroli Linnaei medic. & botan...

    Copies can be downloaded from Google Books or from sub.uni-goettingen. Edit - The Google Books version is actually the 7th edition, see post #388 below.

    Well, one is plausible, the other (the type designation in 1802) is just deeply anachronistic. x) It's taken from the PCL (most type fixation statements in H&M are) : v.1:ed.2 (1979) - Check-list of birds of the world - Biodiversity Heritage Library

    Unless contrary evidence surfaces, I'd go with Philos. Mag., 7: 146, dated to 1 Feb 1830 based on the information appearing on the wrappers. Raphael 1970 wrote: ("MBLS" = Minute Books of the Linnean Society.) Thus, ready but demonstrably not published yet on 22 May 1830; demonstrably published...

    Although I don't really read Japanese either, I think the article starts on p. 338 v. 30 (1918) - Dobutsugaku zasshi - Biodiversity Heritage Library. It ends you p. 444 as you suggest. The title is 鹿兒島縣下の鳥類, which means something like Birds from the Kagoshima Prefecture, and is written...

    Stephan's paper ? I don't think it's anywhere online, unfortunately. (It is certainly still under copyright.

    The title pages were added at the end of the publication process (which started much earlier, in 1790 -- 1823 was the year of publication of the very last portion of the work). Evenhuis 2003 dated pp. 529-848 of the Ornithologie to 6 Jul 1822. (Based on #3134 in : Bibliographie de la France.)

    The number of the livraison is indicated in the footer of the first page of the text, and is indeed 69. This livraison was reported in Bibliographie de la France on 28 Oct 1826 -- Bibliographie de la France -- which is usually accepted as its date of publication.

    As I understand things, technically, it's not really a second edition. The text was printed in 1811, but most copies were distributed 20 years later, at which time a new title page dated "MDCCCXXXI" was produced and substituted to the original one. The texts of the volumes dated MDCCCXI and...

    heineken is used for all Blackcaps in the region. The melanistic birds are not regarded as forming a separate taxon -- any name that applies to them also applies to non-melanistic birds from the same areas.

    Yes, definitely 1816. Cassicus is an emendation of Cacicus Lacépède by Illiger 1811 -- not Vieillot either thus.

    Garsault used uninominal names (which have been interpreted as generic names) to denote entities that he must obviously have regarded as species, rather than as supraspecific groups. In the case of Cygnus, he was explicit in his text that "Cygnus" / "Cygne" was possibly better named "Cygne...

    The GBIF taxonomy is a bit of a mess, I'm afraid. ;) Note that they have two "valid" versions of Cygnus -- the traditionally accepted Cygnus Bechstein 1803 and the recently revived "Cygnus Garsault 1764" (not a binominal author IMO) -- with different species placed under each version.

    It's not used as a valid name, but under the current rules, it could nevertheless be available under Art. 11.6.1, if it had been adopted as the valid name of a taxon or treated as a senior homonym before 1961. The bird illustrated in Mag. Zool. is the type of Lafresnaye's Dacelo fuscicapilla...
