Similarly, descriptions of species repeated across volumes do not lose their accuracy with each publication. Other species are splits and lumped and have had their names changed. Why are these issues?

Is a Coua a bird or a city in Brazil? There were two species there, even, of a type I had never heard of. You’ll find pardalotes over most of Australia, but only four species in all. One of those species, the Forty-spotted Pardalote , is found only in a small part of Tasmania. What, exactly, is a koel? What a treat!
