Message: <blockquote data-quote="mb1848" data-source="post: 2386614" data-attributes="member: 31036">There is a card from the Richmond index for Ornismia Aline which states it was published on January 29, 1843 in the L’echo du monde.  <a href="http://www.zoonomen.net/cit/RI/SP/Oreo/oreo00408a.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.zoonomen.net/cit/RI/SP/Oreo/oreo00408a.jpg</a> .The Zoological Bibliography lists the date of publication of the 3 names no later than January 23, 1843 for Rev. Zool. , and notearlier than January 27, 1843 for the Anales ….Lyon; but possibly as late as December 31, 1843.  There is the other publication date of January 29, 1843 for L’Echo .  It is an actual publication date.    Close but no cigar.  Six days late. It would be interesting to see how the names were spelled in  L’Echo. Richmond on the card asked if Rev. Zool. republished the Echo article, but then crossed the question mark out and wrote first described and pointed to Rev Zool.   This bird is described in Tome 5, of the Lyon annals, and Tome 6 is dated Mars 1843.  At the end of Tome 5 is a list of members of the society as of December 31, 1842.   .This useful publication, reached its sixth volume, contains a wealth of important documents from men, educated and zealous. We can say that this is the best collection published by a learned society in France, because each volume is printed in a format in-8 ° on very nice paper, and accompanied by numerous plates, often colored and generally very well executed.The importance of this company, one of the first of our departments, becomes greater every day by the publicity given to its work, and that is the periodic publication of his Annals, which contributed powerfully to ensure him a prominent place in science and industry. We would have liked to give a complete picture of the excellent work that is found in this collection, but in terms of the Review Zoological no reason to speak of zoological work inserted in this record. As the observations in the first five volumes are already well known to scholars, we will merely indicate those found in the sixth, more recently published. From:Revue et magasin de zoologie pure et appliquée: Recueil mensuel ..., Volume 8 By Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville, Société Cuvierienne, Paris.I take this Google translated review of Tome 6 as proof that Rev. Zool. was regularly  republishing zoological articles from the Anales ….Lyon.</blockquote>
