Notes:
In 1858 the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU) was formed. It was the first organization, devoted solely to the study of birds. One year later, members of the BOU founded a (Quarterly) "Magazine of General Ornithology," entitled "The Ibis". In the preface of the first issue of The Ibis the editor, Philip Lutley Sclater, recalls that in a meeting in the autumn of 1857 a group of ornithologists who would soon establish the British Ornithologists' Union, there was a "strong feeling that it would be advisable to establish a Magazine devoted solely to Ornithology." A year later, in what was called "the annual assemblage" of November 1858, it was determined, after due consideration, "by those present that a Quarterly Magazine of General Ornithology should be established, that a limited subscription should be entered into to provide a fund for that purpose, and that the subscribers should form an 'Ornithological Union'.
"The Ibis" is not only the oldest British, current magazine devoted to Ornithology, but it is the premier publication of its kind in the English language; indeed it may be truthfully said that it is now, and long has been, the most practical and the best-edited ornithological periodical in any language. To its columns for over 60 years, the flower of British ornithologists have contributed of their best, while the editors though few in number have been counted among the most distinguished naturalists of their day.
