The signature is dated April 1860 (at the foot of [p.103]). That should in principle indicate the time of printing.
(Printed is still not equal to published, though; publication requires the distribution of the printed item.)
According Priority!:
SI copy include p. 103 in a second state
sig 19 pp. 279-286; CRW* reported that pp. 103-286 made up issues 4/9 [and so p. 103 must have occured in two states] and that theres pages bear the date 'June 1861'!

But a next question. Berlepsch wrote here about Uranomitra quadricolor (Vieill.)
...same as the bird which we used to call U. cyanocephala. in his description of Trochilus quadricolor....
Which would fit to William Jardine here or the plate here.
So Vieillot may have described Trochilus quadricolor in 1822. Lessons description seems from 1830 here.
So why no priority to Vieillot?
