Overview

Excerpt from The Zoological Taxa of William Healey Dall Each entry consists of (l) the new name; (2) the original reference; (3) the locality or localities originally cited (where many localities are given usually only the first is listed and the words and others appended); (4) the museum catalog number or whereabouts of supposed type specimens. When illustrations or information concerning type - specimens were published by Dall subsequently to the original introduction of a taxon, we have cited these references following the entry. For many of his species, Dall never referred to a type-specimen, and we have made little effort to ascertain this information, nor have we designated lectotypes, preferring to avoid errors of commission. The exacting tasks of the assignation of primary types and the illustration of typical specimens are left to specialists concerned with the taxonomy of each particular group. Regarding variations in spelling, we have refrained from making note of errors by using 'sic' to refer to 'as originally printed' and have cited errors or misspellings as they occurred. Only the endings i or ii are placed together in the catalog in a nonalphabetical sequence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
