Open access will be provided six months after publication. ABSTRACT: This article provides the first accurate representation of the chronology of publications from 1826 to 1830 covering 83 taxa involving 94 names, including variable orthographies, of birds newly described from the collections of the voyage of the Coquille (1822‐1825), with 59 names currently used as valid for recognised species or subspecies based on the fourth edition of the Howard and Moore Checklist (2013‐14). This voyage resulted in collections from multiple countries and the avian novelties were published in a variety of works over a period of five years (1826‐1830) and the complexity of this publication stream was not thoroughly examined for its full geography until the various experts worked on the Peters Check‐list. It seems that section authors were provided with no set policy on how to assign authorship to new birds first named in plate captions; and also that they were mostly misled by inaccurate information on the date of publication of Lesson’s Manuel d’Ornithologie.

This is an article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. ABSTRACT: To the review of the ornithology of the voyage of La Coquille by Dickinson et al. (2015) and the additions of Dickinson et al. (2019) and Lee & Bruce (2019a), a further bird from this expedition is hereby presented: the Masked Booby Sula dactylatra, named by R.P. Lesson. The Hydrographie et Physique volume of the La Coquille voyage (Duperrey 1829) containing daily records of at‐sea observations, is here acknowledged as a previously unrecognized resource for historical ornithology and marine ecology. This volume also reveals a previously unnoticed name, “sula nigrodactyla”, a nomen nudum, initially used then discarded by Lesson for the Masked Booby. KEYWORDS: La Coquille, R.P. Lesson, Masked Booby, Sula dactylatra, Duperrey, Hydrographie et Physique. INTRODUCTION A review of the authorship and dates of publication of birds newly described from the voyage of La Coquille (1822‐25) by Dickinson et al. (2015) was a comprehensive study intended to provide the first complete representation of authorship and dates of ornithological publications between 1825 and 1830 resulting from the scientific expedition of the French naval corvette La Coquille. The expedition under the command of Louis Isidore Duperrey (1786‐1865) circumnavigated the globe during 1822‐1825. Among its extensive collection of minera‐ logical, botanical and zoological specimens, at least 254 bird species were identified, some 46 of which were apparently new to science (Cuvier 1825: 15).

  • Three Additional Birds from the “Voyage De La Coquille” (1822‐1825)
    Michael Lee & Murray D. Bruce 103 Zoological Bibliography 2019 6(7) Three additional birds from the “Voyage de La Coquille” (1822‐1825) Michael Lee & Murray D. Bruce COPYRIGHT: © 2019 Lee & Bruce. This is an article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. ABSTRACT: To the review of the ornithology of the voyage of La Coquille by Dickinson et al. (2015) we add three birds named as new species, overlooked for different reasons: 1. Diomedea epomophora, the current name of the Southern Royal Albatross; 2. Todiramphus sacer, a synonym of the Chattering Kingfisher Todiramphus tutus; 3. Dromiceius novaezelandiae, the second name applied to a kiwi and evidently an available senior synonym of the North Island Brown Kiwi Apteryx mantelli. The La Coquille expedition introduced the indigenous name ‘kiwi’ to ornithology; it is now the common name applied to birds of the family Apterygidae. KEYWORDS: La Coquille, R.P. Lesson, Diomedea epomophora, Todiramphus sacer, Todiramphus tutus, Apteryx, kiwi, New Zealand, Society Islands. INTRODUCTION The objective of A review of the authorship and dates of publication of birds newly described from the voyage of La Coquille (1822‐25) by Dickinson et al. (2015) was to provide the first complete representation of authorship and dates of ornithological publications between 1825 and 1831 arising from the scientific expedition of the French naval corvette La Coquille under the command of Louis Isidore Duperrey (1786‐1865) which circumnavigated the globe during 1822‐1825. The review enabled the correction of various long‐standing errors in publication chronologies and other details, affecting 83 bird taxa.

  • 1. CONTEXTUALISING the BOUNTY in PACIFIC MARITIME CULTURE of Micronesia, Marking the First European–Pacific Islander Encounter
    1 Contextualising the Bounty in Pacific Maritime Culture Jean-Claude Teriierooiterai Independent Researcher and Member of the Tahitian Academy As described in the Introduction, there have been many narratives – written and filmed – about the Bounty. Historical sources are mainly British, and events have been presented mostly from a British perspective. This chapter1 sheds a somewhat different light on Bounty narratives, coming from the perspective of indigenous Pacific Islanders – the perspective of those who stand on ‘the other side of the beach’, as Greg Dening famously put it. It examines the interactions between European explorers and Pacific Islanders since first contact and, through a close study of late 18th-century Pacific maritime culture and heritage, compares British and Polynesian maritime cultures around the time of the Bounty. The aim is to contextualise the Bounty from a Polynesian perspective and to give voice to the Pacific Islanders of the past: to those who have long 2 been thought of as ‘little’. 1 Translated into English by Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega and Meredith Wilson. 2 Greg Dening, ‘Writing, Rewriting the Beach: An Essay’, in Alun Munslow & Robert A Rosenstone (eds), Experiments in Rethinking History, New York & London, Routledge, 2004, p 54. 21 THE BOUNTY FROM THE BEACH First European and Polynesian encounters: How the Europeans established their reputation as slayers of men The Spaniards’ first dramatic landfinding European explorers were constantly amazed by the diversity of the central Pacific islands. Within a maritime area amounting to one-third of the globe’s surface, they encountered expansive, towering islands where water flowed from mountains in abundance; and small, ring-shaped, semi-desert sand atolls.

  • 'Race', Intimacy and Go- Betweens in French–West Papuan Encounters
    3 ‘Race’, intimacy and go- betweens in French–West Papuan encounters Nicole Starbuck From the early modern age of discovery to the nineteenth-century era of science, relations between European maritime explorers and Indigenous peoples grew easier and the gaze explorers cast over the bodies and behaviours of their ‘native’ hosts became far more focused; yet paradoxically, scholars observe, explorers’ records of cross- cultural encounters increasingly obscured the agency and influence of local individuals. Particularly in the case of French explorers, who had an almost constant presence in Oceania from 1817 to 1840, this development has been largely accounted for by the nature of modern ethnographic knowledge production. By the nineteenth century, in order to facilitate and lend authority to their claims about human diversity, many French voyager-naturalists were distancing their reports from the ‘messiness of locally tortuous wheeling and dealing’ and particularly from the potential for ‘failure, infection and leakage’ caused by local go-betweens.1 Certainly, they were also seeking more explicitly in their reports to advance existing theories in the nascent field of anthropology and, to that end, referring more to previous studies than to their own observations in the field: 1 See Schaffer et al. 2009: xxi–xxx. 39 BRoKERS AND BouNDARIES the effects of accumulating knowledge were more pronounced and profound at this time than ever before. Yet, while the demands of scientific method, on paper, may have increased the distance between voyager-naturalist and ethnographic subject, during the encounter itself, as close observation necessitated some intimacy, they also placed a heightened significance on the cultivation of cross-cultural ‘friendships’.

Dr. Glynn Barratt, an eminent Russian scholar, had offered to do the translation which was to be funded by a grant provided by the Historic Preservation Office. During the course of project planning, however, it was brought to our attention that the French version of Lutke's Kosrae material had previously been translated by Lynn and Philip Ritter. The work had been started by the Ritters during their stay on Kosrae in 1974-75. After contacting the Ritters the Historic Preservation Office learned that in addition to the Lutke material, Phil and Lynn had translated the accounts of Duperrey, D'Urville, Lesson and Kittlitz dealing with their respective Kosrae visits. These accounts had been organized These pages were originally typed into Stanford into one volume entitled The European Discovery of Kosrae Island.
