Every month (begin or in the middle of the months) the Acadamy had theirmeetings, where they decided to accept a manuscript or not. Usually a fewweeks later these ms were printed (=praeprint) and send out to otherinstitutions, the authors etc. The Academy was very fast in this procedure,only In December they were not able to print it before mid January. E.g.,Meyer1874: the meeting of the Academy was held at Dec 3, but the article +the contents was published at January 7 1875.

Lepidoptera, Rhopalocera and Heterocera byOsbert Salvin, F.R.S., F. Du Cane Godman, F.R.S. H. Druce,F.L.S.New York,1891[Interestingly, it has been suggested that James Sligo Jameson wasthe model for Joseph Conrad's character "Mr Kurtz" in "Heart of Darkness".This speculation is found in "The British Library writer's lives Joseph Conrad" by Chris Fletcher. The British Library. 1999. There (pp.60-61) Fletcher notesthat Conrad referred to Mr Kurtz as "an emissary of pity, and science, and progress".When Conrad returned from his time as a river boat captain in the Congo, the press was fullof accounts of the behaviour of members of H.M. Stanley's Pasha relief expedition.Jameson, as a member of the expedition "apparently paid six handkerchiefs for theprivilege of watching and sketching a young girl sacrificed and eaten by cannibals."Conrad refers to Kurtz as "presid[ing] at certain midnight dances ending up with unspeakable rites, which ... were offered up to him - do you understand? - to Mr Kurtz himself."The possible parallel also seems interesting to me [APP] in that Mrs Jameson edited herhusband's Story of the Rear Column (her husband who died on the expedition, as Kurtz also dies in Africa), and in Marlow's account in Heart of Darkness he confronts Kurtz's widow, but is unable totell her of the behaviour of her late husband.These are clearly speculations, but the timing and the many parallels seem interesting.

Alison Harding has most kindly confirmed that they hold the following:"1) The first one has a title page which states it is 'Decas Prima' and someone has added in pen 'et unica!'.  At the bottom of the title page in pen has been added 'Fol. a and b and all plates appeared in 1828, the rest in 1833'.  (I do not know who wrote these annotations).  This volume has plates 1 to 10 only.2) The other copy has no title page but has a handwritten 'title' -'Symbolae Physicae seu Icones et Descriptiones corporum Naturalium Novorum aut Minus Cognitorum quae ex itineribus per Libyam Aegyptium Nubiam, Dongalam, Syriam, Arabiam et Haberssiniam publicio instituto sumptu.  Hemprich et Ehrenberg.  Pars Zooligica I.  Berolini ex Ifficina Academica 1828'It has all 20 plates"She gives me a list of plates XI-XX which corresponds exactly to that supplied by the bookseller. This is presumably where Sclater got his information from, and I am waiting to know whether there are also sets elsewhere (e.g. AMNH, Berlin or Stuttgart). If it is agreed (as I think is the case) that this work was indeed distributed (despite the booksellers' claim to the contrary) then we have earlier descriptions for two Afrotropical taxa:Centropus superciliosus (pl. XI)Estrilda rufibarba (pl. XIII).In neither case do the names change, but the authors become:Hemprich & Ehrenberg (1829) rather than Hemprich & Ehrenberg (1833), and Cabanis (1850) respectively.[End Dowsett 2003.06.06]Regarding the posited date of 1829,contra 1828, Dowsett's thinking as of 2003.06.07 is:[Begin part of Dowsett 2003.06.07]'The two people to have used this reference forCentropus superciliosus gave different years:1828 in W.L. Sclater'sSyst. Av., and1833 in Chapin'sBds of the Belgian Congo. 1829 is the date on the copy Steven's bookseller has on hand. That copy is clearlyDecas secunda, whereas one notes the title of the NHM volume containing the full set of 20 plates is somewhat different. Had XI-XX been distributed in 1828 (as were the first 10 plates) then one might have thought people aware of the first 10 would know of the 2nd batch (which clearly most people didn't). So I think the choice is between a "certain"1829 and a less so1828, and I would go for the later date. What do others think?As for the different titles, the NHM copy being handwritten I don't think we can be sure it is what covered the plates when distributed, rather than one [that] someone took to be the composite title of the whole work.'[End Dowsett 2003.06.07]Steven Gregory is currently the primary investigator of this mystery and his explanationsare:[Begin S.G. 2003.06.08.001]"Bob appears to have introduced you to this particular loop withoutexplaining the background. Edward and I had a 'lively' discussion concerningthe correct authorship of the new names introduced by theSymbolae Physicae.I argued that Zimmer was correct in stating that '...all of which must becredited to Ehrenberg although most of them are initialled "H. et E." in thetext.' It turns out that all those initialled "E." alone are named'hemprichi'. As well as the obvious fact of Hemprich's death in 1825 thereare some more subtle clues such as: 1). The portion of the title page dealing with authorship translates as 'establishing publication at the expense [publico institutis sumptu] of F.G.Hemprich & C.G.Ehrenberg', but that it was 'magnificently and expensively published by the surviving [superstes] Dr. C.G.Ehrenberg'. And 2). The names are introduced exclusively as footnotes, supporting my contention that while Hemprich will have made extensive field notes later to be incorporated into the text, he was unlikely to have named species 'on the spot' (there were 34,000 zoologicalspecimens collected!) and that the names, therefore, were inserted byEhrenberg prior to publication, and cited Art. 50.1 and Recommendation 50Aof the ICZN in support. This is a condensation of a far largercorrespondence between just the two of us, the upshot of which is that weappear to agree to differ on this subject, he is happy with H. & E. in E.,and I with E. in H. & E. !!!It was at this point, after a lot of digging around into this subject, thatI found that W.L.Sclater cited 'fol. R, pl. xi,' forCentropus superciliosus, a plate which should not exist, and discovered a set ofplates for sale by Antiquariaat Melchior purporting to be the Decas Secunda,plates XI-XX.I attach here the e-mail concerning the names of these plates, and willcontinue with an e-mail attaching scans of the two most interesting plates.Each plates has in top left the text: "Zoologica I. Aves" and in top right the plate number. On bottom right is the artist name (usually F. Burde), sometimes on bottom left the engravers name.

Although referred to variously as 'signatures' and 'folios', strictly speaking the first two parts (a andb) are superroyal folios, that is superroyal sheets folded once, and the latter parts (c-gg) superroyal half-folios, that is single leaves of the same size.  I must say that it seems entirely plausible that texts were released between 1829 and 1833, and not 'all at once' as the bibliographers have it, but that this is probably now beyond any investigation unless a library somewhere has retained proof of receipt. Bob Dowsett has taken up the running in this area as he was the most enthused by my 'discovery'. As well as at the NHM, I believe  a complete set resides in Berlin, although I'm unsure which institution as the  internet description merely states 'Zoological Library',[End S.G. 2003.06.08.002]Hemprich died in the field during their labors, Zimmer in attributed all taxa to Ehrenberg. I have interpreted ICZN 50.1 (1999) to indicate that both authors shouldstand for the authority but may change this yet again. (2003.06.08).

Though many copies of that volume are apparently dated1828, implying the presence of two issues of it.The second volume (with the bird material) has two title pages, one with theauthor's name and a general title, but lacking a date, the second title page hasa title and indicates the volume and part, but lacks the author's name. Billberg introduced a large number of generic names, many of which were senior to those already in wide use in the early 20th cent.

I think Peters 6:79 shows the conventional way to cite names based on the numbered sequence of specieswithin an individual review.

The term is an ancient one.'This appears to me that they are suggesting that the italicization of "petreae"is a typographic error? I do not find a discussion from them regarding themeaning and implication, if any, of the italics.In classical Latinpetra ~aef. A rock, boulder, or crag.Petra ~aef. The name of several towns, esp. the chief townof Arabia Petraea.I expect that Kitchell and Dundee may not have attended to the implicationsof the italiciziation, and lower case used by Linnaeus. Alternatively thelower case and italicization may not have been Linnaeus' intent.Occam's razor would, I believe, favor "Rocky Arabia" over "Arabia Petraea".However, the meaning and consistency of the italiciziation is not clear.In the instances ofTestudo carinata p.198 andTestudo serpentina p.199The text reads: "Habitat in Calidis regionibus."And the only reasonable interpretation is that given by Kitchell and Dundee:"Lives in warm regions.""Calidis" does not seem to be any PLACE, so by my theory it would seem it should be italicized, and it is not.Note 2: The date of Systema Naturae is fixed by the ICZN as 1 January, 1758.This may not be far from the actual date it was published. In his'Index to the "Systema Naturæ" of Linnaeus.' 1899. C. Davies Sherborn indicates (p.vi):"In a letter to Mr. John Ellis, dated 8 Feb., 1758, Linnæus says thefirst vol. of the 10th ed. of the Systema was just published.  We can therefore safely date Zoological Nomenclature from 1st Jan.,1758."]Systema Naturae, &c.Linneai, CaroliEditio duodecima reformata Tomus I (= Regne animale)17668vopp. 1327+36Tom.
