Id.

Explanation:
Abbreviation of Latin, Idem meaning the same, in this case the same author, J.R. Bunker who wrote the article next mentioned.
http://tizian.khi.uni-heidelberg.de/projekte/alteabt/zeitsch...
However, the use of Id. in an English bibliography usually means "in the same publication as previously mentioned by this author", so in order to avoid confusion, I would repeat his name here.
