As you can see they are printed as
Edolius carbonarius Edolius densusBoth of these names actually occur in a section (that starts on p.351) headed Dicrourus and Bonaparte (we interpret) holds all these taxa to be in Dicrourus (the name is simply a variant of Dicrurus).

The title page of "Abhandlungen aus dem Gebiete..." shows that BOTH "Beitraege" were published in 1852, bound together in one volume including 11 plates. No information is found that they would have been published with a two year gap inbetween. However, the first part was also published separately in the tiny and unknown journal "Verzeichnis der öffentlichen und Privat-Vorlesungen, welche am Hamburgischen Akademischen Gymnasium von Ostern [year] bis Ostern [year] gehalten werden". Complete citation: Hartlaub, Gustav (1850): Beitrag zur Ornithologie Westafrica's. Verzeichniss der öffentlichen und Privat-Vorlesungen, welche am Hamburgischen Akademischen Gymnasium von Ostern ...[probably 1849] bis Ostern ... [probably 1850]gehalten werden. Schulprogramm, Akademisches Gymnasium, Hamburg. Pp. 1-56. Thus, in the year 1850 Gustav Hartlaub had already published there his first part of the "Beitrag zur Ornithologie Westafrica's". Unfortunately this rare journal is also not available in the Zoological Institute of Hamburg so that I have now to trace a copy of this journal.So this name may well date from 1850 and from this rare source.
Peters et al.(1960:218) credited this name to McClelland, however there is only a Latin diagnosis by Horsfield, the description in English usually supplied by McClelland is absent.

Rostro atro; pedibus bruneis; corpore toto cœruleo-cœsio; ventre brunneo-plumbeo ; crisso cinereo; pennis alarum caudaque nigris cæsio marginatis. Hab. Sumatra.(emphasis added)
And the "oe" ligatures and "ae" ligatures are easily distinguished in the descriptive text.

Weak clinal variation from south to north involving reduced grayish fringes to mantle-feathers and reduced brown between black medial streak and fringe; birds called "mailliardi" and "cooperi" cannot be told from heermanni sensu stricto, nor from each other.
calthorpæ * ... ... * This is the correct rendering of the name. It was dedicated by Mr. E.L. Layard to his first wife, who was a Miss Calthorp. He told me this himself, remarking that he had himself inadvertantly perpetuated the error, through a misprint in his 'Birds of South Africa,' where he intended to call a Pipit Anthus calthorpæ, but for the second time his printer failed him, and it appeared as calthropæ.I find no evidence of this pipit name.
calthropae Psittacus, E. L. Layard, Journ. Ceylon Br. R. Asiat. Soc. [II (5) 1849-50] 1850, 75 ; ed. 2, 1890, 200.which appears to be junior to the Blyth publication, in a different publication, and with a different spelling!!.
The lapsus by Blyth was emended in or before Salvadori (1891); this taxon was named for a Miss Calthrop and not as Peters (1937) wrote a Miss Calthorp. Use of this accurate emendation from 1891 to 1937, has been succeeded by over 50 years of use of calthorpae. Sibley & Monroe (1990) resurrected calthropae, but we judge that calthorpae must benefit from the rules on prevailing usage.
usage, prevailing, n.
Of a name: that usage of the name which is adopted by at least a substantial majority of
the most recent authors concerned with the relevant taxon, irrespective of how long ago
their work was published.

Palæornis calthropæ [main heading] Palæornis calthrapæ Blyth 1849 [with 9 additional entries from 6 authors following] Palæornis calthropæ Kelaart 1852 [with approx. 26 additional entries from 18 authors following] Palæornis calthrapa Bp. 1857 Palæornis calthropiæ Schlegel 1864Obviously, this sketch must not be interpreted to be any evalution of the "most recent authors concerned with this taxon", but I include it here for interest.
Trochilus chalyæus, Vieill. Enc. Méth. p.574; Temm. Pl. Col. 66. f.2; Gray Hand-l. B. i. p.147Salvin thus appears to believe the name is due to Vieillot and that it is spelled with a ligature (-æ-).
Contrary to what I wrote before Temminck did NOT use chalybæus on the wrapper. Froriep
gave chalybeus and so did the Belgian reviewer in the Annales Générales des Sci.
Phys.
So chalybæus is only in the Tableau Méthodique, which as you recall is an
index, binding plan and link between the Buffon plates and the T&L plates.
... you remind[] me about the Swiss reports on Temminck & Laugier. I do have the set of
these and I attach a PDF showing the list of the 6 notes that appeared in vols. 4 and 5. These take us up
to the end of Pl. 120 and thus to the end of the livraisons that appeared before their text did. And thus
yes, it is possible to cross check Froriep against this source, which I seem to have done but do not seem
to have entered into a comparative spreadsheet. I have also copied for you the page that deals with
livraison 11 and you will see that the Swiss review also gives the spelling as chalybeus. So we
have 3/3 votes for that.
For the record, ... the details that I have for these sources -- not quite complete as to dates -- are as
follows:
Froriep in Notizen aus dem Gebiete der Natur- unf Heilkunde:
a) 1821 in an issue dated Julius 1821 and numbered PRO 2:
cols 19-22 include an overview and the details of livraisons I to VIII all of which can only be
from the wrappers
b) 1822 in an issue dated Oktober 1822 and numbered Pro 53 as well as (Nr. 9 des III Bandes):
cols 129-132 include the details of Livraisons IX to XXIII and certainly for the last three (at
least) Froreip must have been able to see text as well as plates. In the Introductory paragraph of
text Froreip wrote "Dies Werk geht uunterbrochen fort. Auch ist der Bunsch nach einem
beschreibenden Texte; den wir den wir Notizen Nr. 2 pag. 21 ausserten, ets füllt worden, uns
seit dem 20sten Heft jedesmal der Text beigefügt; der zu denfrühern Heften
gehörige wird nachgeholt." .
Anon. in the Annales Générales des Sci. Phys. (Bruxelles)
a) In Vol.7 pp.361-371: an extensive review which includes the details of the first 6 livraisons. The
details most probably came from the wrappers (comparison with Froriep might reveal differences but I have
not yet made these)
b) In Vol.8 pp.395-396: details of livraisons 7 to 11. The volume title page has 1821 on it. If this is
correct then all the listed details must have come from the wrappers or from Froriep.

In 1926, C. Davies Sherborn, Ann Mag Nat Hist ser. 9, vol. 17:271-272 published a brief note titled: Dates of Publication of Early Catalogues of Natural History issued by the British Museum. In that work Sherborn attributes the Catal. Spec. and Drawings .... by Hodgson to G. R. Gray, 1846 with the bracketed date [9 January 1847]. In the text he states that 'Information supplied from the Records by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.' Further, he stated that many difficulties have arisen in question of priority and that it is impossible to recover the exact date they were offered for public sale. He continues that " ... we must be contented to recover the exact day on which they were 'laid on the table' of the Trustees, a preliminary to the issue to the public.' He notes that these are the dates he used in the Index Animalium.

"Note that AOU 1998 uses chrysomelas (p. xlviii), and chrysomelaena (p. 571). Remember that the original name is Tachyphonus chrysomelas Sclater & Salvin, 1869. [I (APP) had previously included this comment] Chrysothlypis chrysomelaena spelling: Usually given as chrysomelas. AOU 7th ed. CL uses chrysomelaena, referencing Deignan, 1961. In that work, Type Specimens of Birds In the United States National Museum p.588, Deignan makes this argument. 'Since Hellmayr (loc. cit.) has listed this form as Chrysothlypis chrysomelas chrysomelas, it follows that he must have considered the generic name Chrysothlypis masculine. All other names ending with -thlypis, however have been consistently treated, by himself and others, as feminine (cf. Geothlypis, Chamaethlypis, and Euthlypis), and Chrysothlypis must therefore also be feminine.' [N David continues] Names ending in -thlypis are not feminine because they are combined with feminine adjectival name; they are feminine because they end in a transliterated Greek feminine word [ICZN 1960 30 (a) (ii)]. The rule still prevails in ICZN (1999, Art. 30.1.2). This means that an original name such as "Chrysothlypis albus" would need a mandatory correction (= C. alba). In this case, an author's belief is ignored by the Code. [Deignan's note continues] 'If this be granted, we must use a latinized form of the feminine ending of the Greek adjective meaning "black." A comparable case is Turdus protomelas Cabanis, 1867, which, placed by Seebohm in the genus Merula became Merula protomelaena (see Catalogue of the birds in the British Museum 5: 265, 1881).' [N. David's final comment] In 1960, the rule governing gender agreement of species-group names was not explicit; in fact, it held in two lines: "an adjective must agree in gender with the generic name with which it is at any time combined". The 1985 and 1999 Codes, however, are very explicit: an original species-group that is or ends in a word that is not Latin or latinized must be treated as indeclinable. Thus, all original names ending in -melas [from melas (black) in Greek) are invariable, even if melas is an adjective. The rationale behind this rule is that Latin is the language of scientific nomenclature; species-group names that are or end in foreign words (neither Latin nor latinized) cannot have their ending changed as Latin or latinized adjectives." -------------------------------------------------- Normand David, Directeur général Association québécoise des groupes d'ornithologues 4545 Pierre-de-Coubertin C.
