    I see that in the Poyser monograph Bewick's Swan (2006, page 20), Eileen Rees says the OD was this: While this paper was read on 19 January 1830, it was evidently published later in the year so cannot be the OD. But which earlier paper is?

    I see that the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (still) cites the OD as Edinb. J. Nat. Geogr. Sci. 1 no. 6 p. 477 (see here) rather than page 146 of the February 1830 issue of The Philosophical Magazine and Annals of Philosophy (New Series volume 7 number 38):

    The index on page 483 includes this entry: * Cygnus Bewickii, a new species of wild swan, 381. The asterisk denotes an original paper or communication. I think the authors of the letter an extract of which is given on page 381 are pretty clearly John and Albany Hancock.

    I may have missed the option to download the whole work as a single PDF file. If it's not there then the attached one might help others. If I've broken any rule by doing this, I will remove it immediately!
