Peter Simon Pallas publishes Zoographia rosso-asiatica in Saint Petersburg.In this work he describes new birds from the Eastern Palaearctic. Examples include Asian brown flycatcher, long-billed murrelet, spectacled cormorant, hill pigeon, Steller's sea eagle, Caspian gull and white-naped crane.
Bechstein inadequately describes a bird he calls Lanius gularis in an obscure work titled Kurze Uebersicht aller bekannten Vögel oder ihre kennzeichen der Art nach Latham’s General Synopsis of Birds und seinem Index ornithologicus. This is later thought to be the large woodshrike and the name causes some taxonomic problems. Such situations are not uncommon due to problems with language, library insufficiency, short descriptions and the profusion of bird names published in this century.
