I am looking at some references and I am interested if anyone can explain in
more detail how some of the older references used in taxonomy are cited. An
example is the citation for the Southern Whiteface is:
Xerophila leucopsis Gould 1841 Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1840:175
Is this reference treated like a journal article (ie there will be a title
to the reference)? Is there a specific article describing this (and other
species) in the proccedings or is it just a series of descriptions of
individual species by different authors (hence the requirement for the
page)?
Any information on how this and other similar references should be treated
would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter
