Abstract
Various avian names are examined in the context of Art. 32.5.1.1, a clause newly introduced in the 1999 Code, which applies retroactively; this permits clear decisions in 21 cases where qualifying corrigenda exist. In addition, we detail three names having dual original spellings, but that were not addressed by a First Reviser or in a corrigendum; they are provided as background, but they too should be captured in any planned database for actions under Art. 32.5References
