1926 A. L. Thomson Probl. Bird-migration viii. 132 His [sc. Middendorff's] method was to plot out ‘isepipteses’, or isochronal lines, joining up all localities corresponding with each other as to their average dates for the arrival of particular summer visitors.

1962 C. D. Sherman tr. J. Dorst Migrations of Birds viii. 233 He [sc. Middendorff] plotted these data on a map, linked the localities which migrants reach on the same date and thus obtained a line he called the isopiptes..(this line was later named the isochronal line).]
