Vol. XXlii] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. I2Q 



Some of the entomologists among these 120 names are: 

 Adlerz, Aurivillius, Bengtsson, Hansen, Holmgren, Lund- 

 beck, Palmen, E. Reuter, O. M. Renter, Sahlberg, Schoyen, 

 Sjostedt, Theel, Tragardh, Trybom and Tullgren. 



Dr. Mortensen comments on the vote as follows: 



"The result of the vote is very striking. Of the 122 names there are 

 2 (two) for the strict application of the priority rule in all cases, which 

 means less than 2 per cent. It may perhaps not be unreasonable to 

 conclude from this result that the number of those Zoologists, who 

 swear to the strict application of the priority rule, is upon the whole 

 very small, the great majority wishing to have the more important 

 names preserved unaltered. 



It is to be hoped that the Zoologists of other countries will follow 

 the example given here. When this has been done and it has been def- 

 initely proved that the great majority object to the strict application 

 of the priority rule, it may perhaps be expected that the tyranny of 

 that notorious law, which has already done so much damage to science, 

 will be thrown off " 



THE NEWS will be glad to receive and to print the names 

 of any American entomologists and zoologists who will send 

 in their votes on one or the other of the two alternatives 

 which we have italicized above.
