The information given in TL-2/1075 has to be amended as follows: The first fascicle received its license for printing on 19 Aug 1867. Gibelli was responsible for the later part of the work which runs to fasc. 41, 1897, and ends with *pl. 129.* Oreste Mattirolo published *plates 130-137* together with the *Index generale* in 1901 (preface Jul 1901). The text ends indeed with p. 906, but the plates run until *137*. A complete copy is at FI (inf. C. Steinberg). #### Eponymy *Passeriniella* Barlese (1892); *Passerinula* P.A.
