By 1876 the club determined to publish the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, which was the first purely ornithological journal, under the joint editorship of Charles Johnson Maynard and Henry Augustus Purdie. However, after one issue, Maynard and Purdie were removed as editors and Joel Asaph Allen, who had recently joined the club, became the sole editor-in-chief.[4]
