Bd. I., pref. June 1st, 1872 ; Bd. II., pref. March 1875 ; Bd. III., pref. May 1877. 
A useful book of reference, but not completely reliable, and care must be taken in 
verification. 
Colluricincla coccinea , error for concinna. 
Gilbert, John. —Gould’s great assistant who collected the majority of Gould’s new species 
of Australian birds. All the early species from West Australia (Swan River) were 
collected by Gilbert, and a large number from Port Essington, North-west Australia. 
I have noted about ninety species which Gould directly or indirectly ascribes to Gilbert’s 
efforts. In a few cases Gould states straight out that Gilbert secured the species, in 
most cases he just gives the locality and then adds Gilbert’s notes. 
Gilbert joined Leichhardt’s Overland Expedition and was killed by blacks on 
June 28th, 1845, in Queensland. The circumstances were reported to Gould in a 
letter which is published in the Proc. Zool. Soc. (Loud.), 1846, pp. 79-80. 
Campbell in his Introduction to his Nests and Eggs of Australian Birds has given a 
good account, and North in the Records Austr. Mus., Vol. VI., pt. 3, pp. 125-128, 
“ On two early Australian Ornithologists ” has also recapitulated the facts.

Reprint with new title-page only, 1850. 
Full of new names for preoccupied ones : Dipsaleon, Timeta, Plectrura, Ecmeles , 
Etoimus, Gataphania , Ostiarius (Herophilus). 
Gloger, Constantin Wilhelm Lambert. —Died 1859. Gemeinniitziges Handund 
Hilfsbuch der Naturgeschichte, Svo, Breslau, 1842. 
Published in seven hefte : the first five, each with 80 pages, appeared in 1841 ; 
pt. vi., pp. 410-480 (?), towards the end of 1841, but date not certain; pt. m, pp. 477- 
496 and pp. i-xxxiv., including preface, dated Oct. 17th, 1841, and title-page 1842, 
perhaps early in 1842, but it may have appeared in 1841, as cases where the title-page 
is dated ahead do occur in connection with German books, and even French, as Cuvier 
(q.v.). 
Gloger introduced many new names in this work: Hippalectryo, Amdous , Agana- 
phron, Gasmerodius , Erodiscus, Plissolophus , Nycticeyx , Malacurus , Golobathris , mainly 
on the score of purism.

This was commonly recorded as the thirteenth edition of Linne’s Systema Naturae, 
but as there are at least two other “ thirteenth editions,” and this is a much augmented 
work, it is best to cite it as Gmelin’s Systema Naturae.
