ISSN 2045-4643 (Print) ISSN 2045-4651 (Online) ZOOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY or Opera Zoologica Edited by Edward C. Dickinson Volume 1 Number 1 November 2010 V Aves Zoological Bibliography or Opera Zoologica is planned as a quarterly, to which open access will be assured through its availability for download free from the website of Aves Press Limited, who publish this focussed 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 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. On the back cover we explain how depository requirements are met for the sake of compliance with Article 8.6 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

ZOOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY or Opera Zoologica Volume 1 Number 1 Published 30 November 2010 PREFACE Any new periodical needs a few words of introduction. This is no exception. Readers will know of other journals that publish the material, on research into dates of publication and authorship, in which we choose to specialise. We seek to differ in three ways. First, Zoological Bibliography , for as long as our publishers can afford it, is to be open access and free to download; and in this context authors own their copyright providing our publishers with a licence under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence scheme. Second, we welcome material that includes nomenclatural acts, such as First Reviser selections between dual original spellings. Our publishers have stated a firm intention to comply with the requirements of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature so that nomenclatural acts in these pages will be valid. Third, we hope to maintain a fast track to publication, thus issue size may vary considerably. Moreover, we seek to serve all the fields of zoology. Many early books and journals, which will be the natural focus of the articles we publish, were multi-disciplinary. We believe it important that findings that recommend corrected dates of publication or of authorship be brought to the attention of all the disciplines to which such works relate. We hope you will bookmark the Zoological Bibliography website; we anticipate publishing once a quarter. E-mail registration is available and it is planned to notify all registrants when each issue is published. This will be accomplished by sending you an Aves Press Newsletter and this should be introduced - about the time of our second issue in February. Finally, please contribute to our Notes section. What we seek is a solid list of recent books or papers that either focus, or at least include reports, on explorations into the dates or authorship of publications that introduced scientific names. Just e-mail details (title, author, date, and publisher for a book, or journal name, volume, issue number and pagination) to ZooBibl@avespress.com and we will check it out. We shall also try to include items that botanists believe will interest our readers. We expect to include book reviews where they seem desirable. The Editorial Board November 2010 Statement of support 2 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) STATEMENT OF SUPPORT It takes dedicated scholarship and extensive bibliographic research to build a solid foundation for zoological nomenclature. As the Principle of Priority is core to nomenclatural stability, a new journal focussed on bibliographic research that helps establish dates of names in zoology will fill a large gap and is very welcome. The ICZN will encourage authors to choose Zoological Bibliography as a rapid peer-reviewed publication route for tills important bibliographic work. The founding board has also shown vision in aiming to address all taxonomic and conceptual groups covered by the ICZN (living and fossil animal taxa, and ichnotaxa). For example, there is little doubt that researchers in ornithology are largely unaware of relevant work of this kind in entomology, malacology or protistology, and that the reverse is true as well. The Editorial Board includes distinguished zoologists and important representation from library and information sciences. By encouraging the publication of nomenclatural acts, the utility of the journal is increased, and the link between the bibliographic work and its consequences is made explicit. The ICZN looks forward to contributions from the editors of Zoological Bibliography to the discussion of future changes in the criteria for valid publication. As an indication of their vision for the future, I commend the editors on making this journal open access and free to all readers. Ellinor Michel, ICZN Executive Secretary, London.

ABSTRACT: three hummingbird names published twice, just weeks apart, with spellings that differ, have led to nomenclatural instability due to uncertainty regarding which article appeared first. Here we provide two relevant dates that allow us to settle this case. We also include an extract of a notice from the editor of the Revue Zoologique making clear that standard policy was to publish in the first days of the month after the imprint month-date. KEYWORDS: Revue Zoologique, precedence determined, publication policy. In the December 1842 issue of the monthly journal Revue Zoologique, Bourcier (1843a) described three hummingbirds as new and coined the names aline, julie, and mulsant, in combination with Ornismyia [sic]. In volume V, for year 1842, of Annales... Lyon, Bourcier (1843b) again described the same taxa in a somewhat different order with the names alinae, mulsanti, and juliae, and in combination with Onrismya, the correct spelling of the genus- group name (a junior synonym of Mellisuga). The former are correct nouns in apposition (ICZN, 1999, Art. 31.1) while the latter are correctly spelled nouns in the genitive case (Arts. 31.1.1 and 31.1.2). Subsequent authors treated the names inconsistently. Salvin (1892) used alinae and juliae, citing both Bourcier (1843a) and Bourcier (1843b), but he used mulsanti, citing only the corresponding reference. Cory (1918) used alinae, mulsanti and juliae, citing only the corresponding reference Peters (1945) used alinae and mulsanti, citing only the corresponding reference, but he used julie, citing both Bourcier (1843a) and Bourcier (1843b), and ostensibly giving priority to the former. Wolters (1976), Meyer de Schauensee (1982), and Sibley & Monroe (1990) used alinae 1842 [sic], mulsant 1842 [sic], and julie 1842 [sic]. Heynen (1999: 641, 683) used alinae 1842 [sic] with correct reference to Annales ... Lyon, whereas Schuchmann (1999: 587, 683) used julie 1842 [sic] with correct reference to Rev. Zook, and Ziichner (1999: 677, 683) used mulsant 1842 [sic] but with incorrect reference to Annales ... Lyon . It was Zimmer (1953) who indicated that mulsant had priority over mulsanti. He wrote: "It appears to be necessary to use the name mulsant in preference to mulsanti, since it has some priority in its favor. The second account in the Lyon paper must have appeared not earlier than January 27, 1843, since another article in the same signature of the journal is said to have been read at a meeting of the society on that date. The latest date of similar use in the Revue Zoologique is December 21, 1842". The indication ("December 21") is an error for December 26 since the December 1842 issue of Rev. Zool. includes notes of a meeting held on that date. Zimmer did not mention aline and julie in Iris series of Peru papers because they are not found in Peru. Ziichner (1999) indicated that mulsant has priority over mulsanti, but Normand David & Alan P. Peterson 4 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) neither Heynen (1999) nor Schuchmann (1999) mentioned the priority of aline and julie, respectively. We are now in a position to demonstrate unambiguously that aline, julie, and mulsant have priority over alinae, juliae, and mulsanti, respectively, and that all six names were published in 1843. Given that the December 1842 issue of Revue Zoologique has no day-date imprint, it could be dated '31 December 1842' (ICZN, 1999, Art. 21.3.1). However, the editor of the journal inserted a notice ("Avis tres-essentiel") on page 375 of that issue, saying (and here translated): La composition et l'impression des tables, surtout a l'epoque du jour de l'an, sont les seules causes de retard que la publication de ce numero a eprouve. Le numero de janvier 1843 paraitra comme a 1' ordinaire, dans les premiers jours de fevrier, et les autres se suivront regulierement comme cela a toujours eu lieu depuis 1838. [Translation] Composition and printing of the tables, especially near New Year's Day, solely explain the publication delay of this [= December 1842] issue. The January 1843 issue will be published as usual in the first days of February, and further issues will follow regularly as has been the case since 1838. As a consequence, the December 1842 issue of Revue Zoologique was published later than 'standard policy' (i.e. the first days of the following month) of the journal and might be considered to need to be dated '31 December 1843' (ICZN, 1999, Art. 21.3.2). However, the December 1842 issue is known to be in existence 23 January 1843 (ICZN, 1999, Art. 21.3) as the Compte rendu des seances de l' Academic des Sciences for the meeting held on that date lists "Revue zoologique no 12" among the publications received at that meeting (Anon., 1843: 214). On the other hand, volume V (1842) of Annales ... Lyon was not published before 27 January 1843 as it contains summary of a meeting held on that date; we have not yet found the publication date of this volume of the journal (to be dated 31 December 1843 at the latest). The correct original citations of the three names are thus: Ornismyia [sic] aline Bourcier, 1843 (no later than 23 January), Revue Zoologique, 5, December "1842", p. 373. Ornismyia [sic] julie Bourcier, 1843 (no later than 23 January), Revue Zoologique, 5, December "1842", p. 373. Ornismyia [sic] mulsant Bourcier, 1843 (no later than 23 January), Revue Zoologique, 5, December "1842", pp. 373-374. Here, we take the view that monthly issues of Revue Zoologique, given the 'standard policy' stated by the editor in the December 1842 issue, must be dated the last day of the following month unless an earlier proof of existence can be found. This kind of research may be needed for other journals when priority issues must be examined closely. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We extend grateful thanks to Richard Banks for reviewing this paper.

Gregory COPYRIGHT: © 2010 Gregory. 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: an 1805 date is confirmed for the '1806' original French work 1 ; the translated German edition appeared about a year later and should not be cited as the source of new names. A slightly corrected French edition appeared in 1806. KEYWORDS: Chelus, Chelys, Chelidae, Dumeril, Froriep, Zoologie analytique, Analytische Zoologie. The identification of the sources for correctly dating Dumeril's Zoologie analytique, ou methode naturelle de classification des animaux, rendue plus facile d I'aide de tableaux synoptiques is to be found in a work largely unknown to ornithologists, and others outside of the field of entomology, namely the Litteratura Taxonomica Dipterorum (1758-1930) by Neal Evenhuis (1997). This work includes an extensive bibliography of important works from Linnaeus' Systema Naturae onwards, and remarks upon various important dating issues and editions. On p. 215 Evenhuis discusses Dumeril's Zoologie analytique, and observes that while the work has "1806" (actually M. DCCC. VI) printed on the title page, it should be regarded as having been published in 1805, and cites receipt by the Bibliogr. Fr. [= Journal Typographique et Bibliographique] for the 15 November 1805, and again on 7 December 1805. These bear the French revolutionary dates of 24 Brumaire an 14, and 16 Frimaire an 14 respectively, which have been confirmed as the Gregorian dates cited. Roger Bour, who was fortuitously asked to referee this paper, has been working for some years on the life and works of Constant Dumeril and, through DumeriTs correspondence, discovered that he reported finishing this work before departing for Spain in July 1805 - where he undertook a medical mission to investigate an epidemic of yellow fever - leaving his cousin, Charles Dumont de Sainte-Croix, to shepherd the work through the press. Lacking were just the final touches to the introduction and dedication, which he must have supplied from Spain. Dumeril returned to Paris on 19 December and apparently, having examined the published work (see Figure 1), provided a list of errata and some suggested changes to the title page, and this explains the discovery by Bour, of what is evidently a second French edition with the same M. DCCC. VI on the title page (see Figure 2) but including changes to the cover and an added list of errata. On page [1] of the Journal Typographique et Bibliographique issue of 15 November 1805, the Zoologie analytique is reported briefly in item 124, where the imprint date of 1806 is given, and again at some length on page 58 of the 7 December 1805 issue, in item 183. The Journal Typographique et Bibliographique reported actual publication during the week prior to its own 1 For how to cite dates in such instances see Gardner, A. L. & V. Hayssen (2004). Steven M. S. Gregory 7 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) imprint date, and the date of 15 November 1805 should be accepted. This may be viewed as a 'not later than' date, and should be used unless proof of earlier issue emerges. It should also be noted that, well before Evenhuis, Mathews (1925: 37) simply stated 'published before Dec. 6th, 1805', without referencing any source for his information. It is well established that he drew on the Bibliographic de la France and he very likely saw the issue of 16 Frimaire, but mistranslated the French revolutionary calendar.

The few remains, or traces of remains, that wo possess from the New' Red Sandstone, and the numerous species of Animals which are proved by their Footmarks to have travelled over Its surface at a period previous to Its conso- lidation, render it desirable to supply the Geologist with Illustrative Plates of these interesting objects. The B lustrations consist of Thirteen Plates, Lithographed from the “ Impressions on the Sandstone." From the difficulty of property representing these reduced, they are figured of the size of the Originals, and are printed in Colours, so as to represent the appearance of the Sandstone ns nearly us possible. Descriptions and Explanatory Observations accompany the Plates. LtTHOOItAPJIFD AND PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR BY W. H, LIKARS, AND PUBLISHED AT 3, ST. JAMES’ SQUARE, EDINBURGH. Figures 2a (recto) and 2b (verso). This advertisement detailed the number of issues and plates per year and the pricing, and summarised the content. The back of the wrapper for Sclater's Synopsis of the Galbulidae, published by Lizars in 1853, carried these pages of text; see Coues (1880: 717) (scanned by McGill University Library, Montreal and reproduced with permission). We have not seen this in the form of a flyer. JARDINE'S EXPLORATIONS OF CONTENT We see the "Illustrations of Ornithology" (present in 1848, 1849, 1850, and 1851) as Jardine's original 'core component' of the Contributions. These were not only a continuation of what he and Selby had done before; they also allowed his daughter to develop her considerable artistic talent. The work, however, needed to compete with the flow of work from the studio of John Gould, a daunting prospect. 16 We have not traced a more accurate date of publication than T853'. Edward C. Dickinson et al. 21 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) The page numbering of the texts for the plates making up "Illustrations of Ornithology" shows that these plates were grouped for publication. We believe that it was originally intended that each issue contain two or more plates. We rely on this to suggest the split of the pagination between issues in the first two volumes, where no other evidence is available. To complement the plates and the texts relating to them, the issues contained other content. Jardine, having used hyphenated pagination first to allow the "Illustrations of Ornithology" of each issue to be brought together for binding, began to test other text or plate groups that could also logically be bound together. This is apparent for "Notes on the Structure of Birds" (1848, 1849) and for "Illustrations of Foreign Oology" (1849, 1850, 1852). Some of his ideas, which may have seemed promising, did not last. The offering, in the 1848 volume, of a "Calendar of Ornithology for 1849" must have received little approval from subscribers and was not continued. In the same vein a "Notice of the new or rare birds which have occurred in the British Isles in 1849" (1850) was not followed by a similar notice for 1850. Instead the subject was broadened to become "Ornithology in 1850" (1851) and "Ornithology in 1851" (1852). In 1851 and 1S52 these groups of subject content were largely replaced by short notes contributed in some number by Strickland as "Ornithological notes" and Sclater as "Ornithological observations". Meanwhile authorship had broadened so that the 1850 and later volumes included articles by Edward Blyth, Baron de la Fresnaye, Thomas Eyton, John Gould, Gustav Hartlaub, Johann Kaup, Eduard Rtippell, Carl Sundevall, Johan W. von Muller and John Wolley. The international interest of the journal was being recognised. THE PAGINATION Wood (1931: 296) described the early volumes as "irregularly and separately paged"; Wheldon & Wesley catalogues say "collation is complicated by eccentric pagination and the plates not being numbered" 17 . 17 In the Wheldon & Wesley archives at the USNM we have found and examined notes relating to eight sales lots from 1944 to 1993 (see Appendix I) of the seven sets involved three were original and four reprints. These records, and our own examinations, demonstrate that plate counts are difficult. Looking at the original sets only, we see that what is considered to have been Jardine' s own set (see Figure 5) had 104 in total, including 'two plain plates issued illustrating tire last two articles in 1852', we believe this figure is arrived at by using the 101 that are listed, adding 81*, which is of the two species of Synallaxis described by Eyton on p. 159 in 1851, and then counting the two plain ones. Mrs. Strickland's set is bound as three volumes and 31 uncoloured plates are bound in at the back of volume 3, these include only one that is not accounted for by published contents. This is of Sphenoeacus pycnopygius which is associated with the next to last article in the 1852 volume. The other 'plain plate' in Sir William's copy is probably of Buceros cultratus of which an example is bound into Alfred Newton's set. These two plates do indeed relate to 'the last two articles in 1852'. Gurney's set, which passed through their hands twice, had 102 (101 'numbered' plus one unnumbered, referred to as '81*'). Another set sold was said to have 72 coloured plates and 23 plain and tire notes say "Wood wrongly lists the total of plates as 101 by including the text figures" yet Jardine gave numbers to those (and mistakenly gave the number CII in the text for pi. 101). However, Wood (1931: 406) in fact cited '101 col. pi.' for the Godnran set and that must indeed have been incorrect, and (op. cit: p. 296) gave 103 for what must be another set. The Wheldon & Wesley notes on this card go on to state, correctly we believe, that "the number that are coloured varies from copy to copy but is never more than 83". Edward C. Dickinson et al. 22 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) General printing practice, taking as an example a printed sheet which, when folded for cutting and binding, and known as a gathering or signature, was for the first page of each such signature to be numbered in small print, usually in the bottom left hand corner; thus, for three sheets each yielding eight pages, the pages numbered 1, 9 and 17 would carry signature numbers 1, 2 and 3 (but the first would often be omitted as too obvious to mention). Normal pagination counts from the first page and on the verso of page 1 is page 2; thus a two-page spread will have an even numbered page on the left and an odd-numbered page on the right. Jardine's numbering system, although often using small page numbers in the signature space, is not related to signatures and required the binders to work rather differently. When arranged as he wanted one finds some odd-numbered pages are on the reverse side of pages (the verso), so that when a two page spread is open the even-numbered pages are to the right (on the recto). Jardine's initial motive was a wish to have a page spread that simultaneously displayed a plate and the first page of any text for it. It is thus not surprising that both the printers and, later the binders, had problems and correct collation is confusing. Indeed it is this combination of complexity and a variety of errors that we believe have defeated previous attempts at understanding his purpose. Because of this we address the plate numbering first. Plates are printed on quality paper with nothing on the back; whether the blank side is the recto or the verso matters not. Such pages are not counted in the numbering, hi contrast blank text pages on thinner paper should be counted and confirm a correct collation. The idea of using page numbers with hyphenated suffixes was apparently conceived to link material, like the "Illustrations of Ornithology" and the texts to them, for ease of identification when, instead of binding issue by issue, the subscriber chose to bind all key sections for the year in groups. Perhaps for this reason, i.e. they did not all relate to the same group, the early plates themselves had no plate numbers. Later, with the title page and list of contents for 1850, Jardine (1850) reported that subscribers wished the plates to be numbered. He explained as follows: "Some of our Subscribers have expressed a wish to have the Plates numbered, to give facilities for quoting. We have no objections to comply with this wish, though we thought that the quotation of the description was sufficient, and our intention was, that the Plates of the "Illustrations" might be bound separately, as they accumulated sufficiently to form a moderately thick volume." He then provided the numbers to be marked on all the plates in the first three volumes 18 . But in 1851 and 1852 he provided numbers only in his tables of contents, he did not add numbers to the plates themselves. Recall that "Illustrations of Ornithology" was a title 19 that Jardine & Selby had used before, over the years 1826 to 1843, and their plates in that earlier work had always been of new or rare birds. In the Contributions, this sectional title was probably deliberately chosen with the intent of continuing to depict such subjects. Now, within the Contributions, we 18 No doubt some subscribers duly annotated their plates with these numbers, despite the fact that some were mere vignettes occupying only part of a page. Mrs. Strickland's set has not been annotated with these numbers; indeed on some plates different numbers have been added by hand (the numbers added by hand in Hugh Strickland's copy are also incompatible with the published numbers supplied in the introductory pages for the 1850 volume). 19 Employed for two "Series" of plates with text; both series issued in parts (Zimmer, 1926). Edward C. Dickinson et al. 23 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) believe these were Jardine's favourite plates. As we show below, these unnumbered plates were linked. The numbering of the associated text pages and specifically the suffixes to those page numbers did this. However, illustrations relating to other subjects also appeared in the Contributions. Those dealing with osteology and anatomy were given the sectional title "Notes on the Structure of Birds" and their pages had their own suffixes, also presumably intended to allow subsets to be collated sequentially. Thus in the 1848 volume the plates in the "Illustrations of Ornithology" section, given, in late 1850, the numbers 1 and 2, 5, 6 and 7, and 10, 11 and 12, are seen to be three discrete groups, associated with text pages 14-1 and 15-2; 23-3 to 26-6, and 60-7 to 63-10 (see Figure 3); each issue contained one of these groups.

The table of contents from the 1848 volume (reproduced with permission, from Mrs. Strickland's set in the Balfour Library, Cambridge). The unduplicated suffixes thus link the ten pages of texts for these plates. In the same volume the "Notes on the Structure of Birds" appeared in just two places (i.e. two issues). The first location included plate 3 and 'plate 4', which is only a vignette: these get pages 16-1 and an unnumbered page for this first vignette, which counts as 17-2. The second location included plate 8 and 'plate 9', which is a second vignette: these are pages 27-3 and 28-4. There were three issues this year and the 'Calendar' made up most of the last issue so taking account of this and the other numbered pages, and of their chronological sequence of publication, we place the first plates on structure in issue 1 and the second in issue 2. Edward C. Dickinson et al. 24 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) Strickland's own bound set has these 1848 sections grouped. We have not been able to examine Jardine's 'museum' copy 20 ; if he did not group them in the same way then it may be supposed that this sectional concept was Strickland's. PRIMARY EVIDENCE: THE VERREAUX SET One reason that the volumes of the Contributions have been widely regarded as books, and cited as if there was just one part per year, is that there is only very limited modern awareness that there were several issues per year. We have found no published details of the composition of any of the issues or of the dates when issues appeared. Coues (1S80) drew on the Contributions for at least 50 entries in his bibliography, but a review of those shows that he never cited an issue number, nor questioned whether any part of a volume was late 21 . Of the sets reported upon by bibliographers only Wood (1931: 406) noted the existence of wrappers or covers. At least some wrappers were in an incomplete set that Richmond had procured for the Emma Shearer Wood Library at McGill University, Montreal 22 . Four original wrappers, printed in remarkably bold colours, are known in the Radcliffe Library set at Oxford, digitised by Google Books, but only the front pages of just four 1849 wrappers have been bound in; these are for 1849, the first part being numbered and dated by hand, whereas Nos. 'II', 'III' and 'V' have both 1849 and their numbers printed. No month dates appear. There were some wrappers in the partial set that Richmond examined, and he would have surely noted on a card for any taxon name derived from that issue, such dates as he found. However, his cards only show dates that seem to be those found within the text pages and on the plates. The 'incomplete set' of the Contributions examined by Richmond had once belonged to Verreaux 23 , and was found to contain some issues in their 'original covers' (Wood, 1931: 137, 406) and Richmond included information, essentially issue numbers from those, in about 130 of his cards for new names (Richmond, 1992), but did not include issue numbers for names from 1848 or the first issues of 1849. The Verreaux set of this work is not now to be found in any part of the Library at McGill University 24 . However, Richmond, who had the Baird set of Contributions available for 20 Now privately held in Australia. 21 In contrast, Coues (1880:746), for example, noted concerns about dates of issue of other 'part works'. 22 That tills volume was in the Emma Shearer Wood library may suggest that acquisition was before 1920 when the Blacker Library was founded. Emma Shearer, a member of a family prominent in Montreal, married Casey Wood In October 1886, whose father was from New York, and who had close links to the Smithsonian Institution (Ilume, 1942: 482). Wood (1931: xiv) noted that this library was "originally intended to ... [contain] ...as nearly as possible complete sets of periodical and serials devoted to bird-life" so it is understandable that the Contributions would have been a significant item of desiderata. 23 One of Richmond's cards states "In my copy it is in Pt. 2. and pagination (in ink by J. Verr.) is continuous with rest of this part." Jules P. Verreaux (1807-1873) established Maison Verreaux as successful dealers in natural history specimens. 24 Confirmed by Eleanor Maclean (Biology Liaison Librarian) 30 July 2008 and further discussed with her 5 October 2009 when the circumstances that could have led to such a loss were considered. Edward C. Dickinson et al. 25 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) reference, had the foresight to record his findings from the Verreaux set in Baird's set 25 . These notations, set out in Table I, are an extension of his collected reference material.

Details of Richmond's annotations in Baird's set (suffixes to page numbers where present are not included in column 3) These suggest that the Verreaux copy, which Wood (1931) said was incomplete, lacked the 1848 volume, or at least lacked all the issue covers from it, and also lacked much of the 1849 volume or most of its covers. Richmond's notes confirm that sometimes two issues were published together, i.e. that they shared a cover. There is no evidence that Richmond found lists of contents and presumably the covers lacked these 26 . 25 A Smithsonian Institution date stamp shows that this copy belonged to the museum as early as 1868. Baird died in 1887. 26 The extant wrappers in the set in the Radcliffe Library in Oxford are just the front leaf and as such tell us nothing. Edward C.

The title page of the Samuel Highley reprint showing the overarching dates of 1848-1852 (photographed from a set in the Balfour Library, Cambridge; reproduced with permission). The identification of a set as a re-issue may immediately be suspected when a global title page for the five years is found; it will be dated 1848-1852 and most probably the title page will show Highley's name, as publisher, with his London address on the recto, and on the verso will be found "T.E. Metcalf, Printer, 63 Snow Hill". No date appears there. However, Highley's title page has found its way into other sets that are not bound with the plates in a separate volume. This and the revised contents pages were collected, and inserted into Mrs. 28 Wheldon & Wesley incorrectly referred to an 'index'; there is in fact a reset six page list of contents, numbered [iii]-viii, for the volume of text (in which ah mention of plate numbers disappears), and a separate three page list of plates for the volume of plates. Edward C. Dickinson et al. 30 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) Strickland's copy, which is a complete original except for these pages (added as a relevant curiosity). It is also in the set in the Rothschild Library (which is catalogued as a set of the original issue, and, in as much as the plates are not gathered in a second volume this is correct, but in addition to containing the Highley title page it includes some of the annual half titles that Highley inserted and lacks some annual title pages from the Lizars set). It is quite possibly a collation derived from a re-issue. A set of two volumes in the second of which all the plates are gathered and which includes a half-title "Illustrations to Jardine's Contributions to Ornithology" is almost undoubtedly a re-issue. However, as the set in the Rothschild Library suggests, other re-issued sets may have been rearranged to resemble the original issue. Figure 6.

The bound 3 volume set of Jardine's "Museum copy" as shown in Catalogue 43 (October 2005) of Andrew Isles, Prahran, Victoria 3181, Australia (photograph Andrew Isles; reproduced with permission). For the date 'I860' Peters probably drew on Wood (1931: 296) who, reporting on a two- volume set, one of text, and one of plates, used "1860?" and said "these plates vary decidedly from the original". Wood did not mention Highley 29 . The earliest mention of this date that we have found is in the Catalogue of the Library of the British Museum (Natural History), Vol. II, p. 927 (British Museum, 1904). However, the Highley set that belongs to the Zoological Society of London has a dedication by Sir William Jardine dated 25th May 1857 bound in before its title page which shows that the date of 1860 needs advancing to 1857. 29 But Wood also mentioned a set in the 'British Museum Natural History Library' from which plate 67 is missing. This is the Highley reprint and is in the Rare Books room at the Natural History Museum, South Kensington. Edward C. Dickinson et al. 31 Zoological Bibliography 2010 1(1) Three sets for which the Wheldon & Wesley notes provide information were sets bound as two volumes 30 . The notes do not specifically state that one volume is text and the other plates, but we believe all these will have been re-issues. A typical Highley re-issue 31 perhaps with original binding is shown in Figure 6; the spine lettering shows one is text, the other plates. A Flighley set in the Balfour Library of the Cambridge University, Department of Zoology is bound in a very similar but slightly less ornate red and gold style (Jane Acred in litt. 28 August 2008).
