302 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [July, *I2 



(5) It appears to me that the muddle in nomenclature is largely due 

 to the slipshod revisions of the last 20 or 30 years, and the sooner the 

 Law of Priority is strictly applied, the sooner the trouble will cease. 

 I even strongly advocate the 'first species' principle in establishing 

 generic types. Clause B would at once bring in the personal equation 

 in the application of the words "most important." 



(6) This proposition [B] is full of danger. I could not vote for such 

 a proposition without knowing what was intended. 



(7) provided the existing uncertainty as to what constitutes priority 

 can be removed, e. g., Meigen's 1800 paper. 



(8) In voting I wish to record my adherence to the International 

 Code. 



(9) It [A] is the only method that offers a chance, of a uniformity of 

 opinion. The second would lead to endless discussions and contro- 

 versies. 



B. The following vote against the strict application of the 



law of priority in all cases and express the desire that the 

 most important and generally used names should be protected 

 against any change on nomcnclatural grounds.
