Ois. L'Oiseau Organ of the Societe Nationale d'Acclimation de France. 1920-30 Paris Appears to have commenced as "L'Oiseau" in 1931 Evidently volumes in at least some instances extend across years. For example I understand that the dates de dépôt légal for vol. 40 are Part 1 2.trimestre 1970 Part 2 4.trimestre 1970 Part 3-4 2.trimestre 1971 (commencing with p.185)
Edward Dickinson writes (2004.12.03):

	My examination of the run of L'Oiseau at Tring suggests that the
	procedure for the Dêpot Légal began during World War II; the first
	appearance it makes is in the 1943 volume (NS Vol. XIII) which was
	delayed to T1 1944!
 
	I also noted that No. 2,3,4 of Volume XII had an inserted slip
	mentioning a delay in issue but the details do not include the actual
	date of publication.
 
	I have not checked every volume form 1944 to date to search for
	delayed issues (especially delays into the next calendar year) and to
	see whether they contained new names; however I did check Jouanin's
	article in L'Oiseau 40 (3/4): 303-306 which does have a new name in it
	and this has a date de Dêpot Légal of T1 1971. This was correctly
	dated in Peters 1(2):99 
At the moment it is not clear to me when the n.s. commenced, but it appears that the volume numbering was continuous.

Bauche Paris Vol 3. Chez C.J.B. Bauche, Paris {per Banks and Browning}. CWR notes that "This was probably published before he had seen the 10th ed. of Linnaeus, as all of his refs. to that work (except in vols. 5+6) occur in the suppl., at the end of vol. 6. The new genera are those given on pp.26-60 of vol.1 (in table of genera). All others cited from Brisson are not used generically!"
Ornithology A publication of the American Ornithological Society (the new name for the American Ornithologist' Union). In turn, "Ornithology" is the new name for "The Auk". Current wisdom has prompted the Society to abandon a name that was known, respected, short, unique, and recognized by all workers in the discipline. The name is now improved(!). As a result it is indistiguishable from TENS of publications (mostly books), it is long, and is best if not abbreviated (as "Orn." is a frequent bibliographic abbreviation for one component part of large publications). The new name, is as I understand it, expected to increase the esteem of those authors choosing this serial for their publications. 2021.11.27

Data on dates from Bob Dowsett (2003.09.23)

	Bocage J.V.B. du 1877-81. Ornithologie d'Angola. Lisbon: Imprimerie Nationale.

	The key ref for dating is:
	Burnay L.P. 1992. 
	"Some bibliographical notes on Barboza du Bocage's Ornithologie d'Angola."
	Arch. Nat. Hist. 19:181-184.

	He writes: 

	"This work was distributed in two separate parts:
	Part I in 1877, 
		contained pp 1-256 
		with pls 1, 3, 4 and 9 with special printed wrappers.
	Part II in 1881, 
		contained the introductory matter (I-XXXII) pp 257-276 [in error for 576] 
		with pls 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 with the definitive printer wrappers and title page. "

	The fact that the plates were published out of sequence might give some cause for concern. 
	However, none of the plates depicts a new form, and thus the four taxa described in this 
	work are correctly dated:

	Cypselus Toulsoni Bocage 1877, (I):158 Apus horus toulsoni

My interpretation would be that this number (23&24) would need to be dated therefore to 1883, and indeed be somewhat problematic as to WHEN in 1883 it should be dated. I discussed this with Dick Schodde, who was wrestling with the issue of "schulzii" versus "schulzi" at the time. He felt it was appropriate to merely dismiss the "1883" date for "Die Welt der Vögel" out of hand as being "less reliable" than the date 1 December given on the cover of Orn.Centralb. He may be right, I am not in a position to merely dismiss imprint dates-of-publication on books in the absence of supporting evidence. I do know that such an approach would be wrong and disastrously misleading with regards to the contemporaneous German publication, J.Orn. ..... Contributed from a bibliographic colleague.

NOTE: No.1 for 1932 "Januar/Februar" has a stamp date (p.[1]) of Jan 28 1932. So "title date" is later than pubishing date (at least in this instance). Also says "Ausgegeben am 4, Januar 1932". No. 2 "Marz 1932" has a stamp date of Apr 4 1932.

Orn.NordostAfr. Ornithologie Nordost-Afrika's, der Nilquellen- und Küsten-Gebiete des Rothen Meeres und des nördlichen Somal-Landes. 2 vols. 57 parts with uncertainty of actual dates of publication. Thru p.416 appears to be published before Dec. 31, 1869. Thru p.656 appears to be published before Oct. 3, 1870. pp.657-916 in 1872 See Zimmer 1926 p.301-302 for additional details. [Data from CWR unpublished notes on Dates of Publication:
  • Livr.1-13 (421 spp.) had appeared up to May 26, 1870 the date on which O.Finsch made this statement (Tr.Zool.Soc.Lond. VII, May, 1870 p.312(note).).
  • Livr.9-11 [as one], Nov. 1, 1869. (so quoted by Finsch loc. cit. p.324).
  • Lieff.9-11 [in one], Blanf. (Geol. Abyssin. 1870, 359) says this part did not reach England till the middle of December [1869]. 2019.03.14 Van Den Elzen, Dickinson, Dowsett, & Harding published the results of their extensive studies of this work. Theodor Von Heuglin's Ornithologie Nord0st-Afrika's... Notes relevant to the dates of publication of the parts. Vertebrate Zoology 2011 61(1):161-176. They make it clear not only why the publication history is confusing, but that apparently it remains confusing. I am at a bit of a loss knowing which parts of their information to use. For example in their Appendix III (p.176) they list the genus group name Urorhipis and put it on p.LXXII. This page agrees with numerous other workers. In this table they date it to 1873. However, on p.173 they state (under the heading 1874) "Lieferungen 50 and 51: the notice to the bookbinder makes clear that these Lieferungen held the Einleitung; here beginning with p.XVII. We presume that this issue ended with p.LXXX" (emphasis added). If Lieferungen 50 and 51 are attributed in text to 1874, and start with p.XVII, ending with p.LXXX it would seem to include p.LXXII. So it appears to me that this page is dated to 1873 in the table and 1874 in the text. Similarly all the latter taxa in their table which they attribute to 1873 (from p.1512 on) are listed as having "Choice of dates" as 1873, but are listed in 1874 in text on pp.172-172. Perhaps I have misinterpreted something here, but it is not clear to me exactly what to do with what appear to be internally inconsistent data.
