    Dear Taxacomers,
    I am looking for precise publication dates of the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
    particularly the "Supplement to the fourth, fifth and sixth editions of the
    Encyclopaedia Britannica" (https://digital.nls.uk/193057498). I would like
    to date the article "Annulosa" by William Elford Leach (see page 401).
    I have found a couple of resources:
    1) The website of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (heavily loaded with
    advertising). "The six-volume Supplement to the fourth, fifth, and sixth
    editions appeared in half-volumes from *1815* to 1824".
    https://www.britannica.com/topic/Encyclopaedia-Britannica-English-language-reference-work/Supplement-to-the-fourth-fifth-and-sixth-editions
    
    2) Wikipedia registers a "supplement to the 5th", appearing from *1816* to
    1824. See:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica#1768%E2%80%931826
    
    
    Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Carlos
