Ad 4. The impulse that led to the acknowledgment of the 
right of priority was only the vivid desire to create a stablenom- _ 
enclature. If we see that by the absolute and unlimited observance 
of the principle we probably gain the contrary of what we intended, 
we, who have ourselves made the rules of priority as a law, have 
the right to amend the latter. Therefore, we present a list of genera 
that have more than a merely scientific interest, or that are very 
large, and we propose to conserve them in spite of the rules of pri- 
ority, in order to avoid a general confusion by the change of. many 
thousand names. :
